Abstract
The region between yvsA (293 degrees) and yvqA (289 degrees) of the Ba cillus subtilis chromosome has been sequenced within the framework of the B. subtilis 168 international sequencing programme. A primary anal ysis of the 42 ORFs identified in this 43 kb region is presented. The region included a high proportion of genes that did not show homology with genes in other bacteria. The identified ORFs showed homology to p roteins involved in the transport of metal ions, two-component signal transducers, ATP-binding-cassette-type transporters and a sigma factor .
