Schematic representations of the organization of the 16 gene clusters encoding CeoB-like efflux pumps in B. cenocepacia J2315 genome. The organization of the genes identified in B. cenocepacia J2315 genome was retrieved from NCBI website http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/genomes/lproks.cgi. RND transporter-encoding genes are depicted as yellow arrows (CDS1-16), outer-membrane protein-encoding genes as green arrows, periplasmatic membrane fusion protein-encoding genes as pale blue, and putative regulatory genes (physically linked) as pink arrows. llpe gene present only in CeoB operon (CDS10) is depicted as orange arrows. Abbrevations: CDS1 (BCAS0592, gi:197295433), CDS2 (BCAS0765, gi:197265565); CDS3 (BCAL1675, gi:206560037); CDS4 (BCAL2821, gi:206561158); CDS5 (BCAL1778, gi:206560142); CDS6 (BCAL1079, gi:206559466)/CDS7 (BCAL1080, gi:206559467); CDS8 (BCAM0926, gi:206562781); CDS9 (BCAM1946, gi:206563791); CDS10 (BCAM2550, gi:206564391); CDS11 (BCAM0713, gi:206562573); CDS12 (BCAM0435, gi:206562298); CDS13 (BCAL1812, gi:206560174); CDS14 (BCAS0582, gi:197295425); CDS15 (BCAM1421, gi:206563273); CDS16 (BCAL2134, gi:206560497).
