Alignment of ComI homologs predicted for different Bacillus species. a ComI homologs were identified in 20 strains. Dark blue boxes refer to basic aa, red boxes to acidic aa. Hydrophobic aa are displayed as green-shaded boxes whilst polar, uncharged aa are bluish violet-shaded. Glycine is given in yellow, cysteine in maroon and histidine in pink. b Primary structure of ComIDSM13. Amino acids are given in single-letter code. The N and C termini are indicated as well as the position inside and outside of the cell. The grey-shaded protein area indicates the predicted transmembrane helix. c Similarity of 23 ComI protein sequences from 20 different Bacillus strains. The reliability of the tree was calculated using the bootstrap test (500 replicates) and is shown next to the branches (Felsenstein 1985). The tree shows three ComI subgroups
