| safA | yrbA | - | 2843900..2845063 | morphogenetic protein associated with SpoVID | COG1388 | |
| coxA | yrbB | - | 2843156..2843674 | spore cortex protein | 
| Operon evidence: | Northern blotting (2.0 kb transcript) | 
|---|---|
| Reference: | Takamatsu H, et al. (1999) | 
| Comments: | Readthrough terminator downstream of safA, leading to a 1.2 kb safA monocistronic transcript. An internal promoter in front of coxA leads to a 0.7 kb coxA monocistronic transcript. |
