Figure 1. rhs elements idnetified on the O157 Sakai chromosome. (a) Structures of seven rhs loci on the O157 Sakai chromosome are drawn to scale. (b) The rhs element compositions of O157 Sakai and K-12 MG1655 are compared. rhsH identified in another E.coli strain (ECOR-45) is absent both in O157 Sakai and K-12.
