Received 15 May 2000/Accepted 3 August 2000

The first sigma 54 promoters in Chlamydia trachomatis L2 were mapped upstream of hypothetical proteins CT652.1 and CT683. Comparative genomics indicated that these sigma 54 promoters and potential upstream activation binding sites are conserved in orthologous C. trachomatis D, C. trachomatis mouse pneumonitis strain, and Chlamydia pneumoniae (CWL029 and AR39) genes.
