A primary analysis of the 42 ORFs identified in this 43 kb region is presented. The region included a high proportion of genes that did not show homology with genes in other bacteria. The identified ORFs showed homology to proteins involved in the transport of metal ions, two-component signal transducers, ATP-binding-cassette-type transporters and a sigma factor. %U https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/micro/10.1099/00221287-144-6-1593
