    FIG. 1.

    Hybridization of genomic DNA from P. woesei to the P. furiosus DNA microarray. The data were normalized as described in Materials and Methods. The abscissa indicates P. furiosus ORFs (ORFs 1 to 2065). The bar at the top indicates the positions of P. furiosus insertion sequences.

    FIG. 4.

    Products of the Mal I region of P. furiosus and P. woesei as determined by PCR analysis. The products were analyzed on an agarose gel (0.5%, wt/vol) and were stained with ethidium bromide. The λ/HindIII-φX174/HaeIII DNA ladder was obtained from Stratagene.

    FIG. 5.

    Sequences of the PCR products of the Mal I regions of P. furiosus and P. woesei. See text for details. The sequenced ORFs of the unsequenced P. woesei genome are labeled ‘PF1735’ and ‘PF1753.’ The nucleotide sequences of these two ORFs in P. woesei are identical to the nucleotide sequences of the corresponding P. furiosus ORFs.
