The genetic neighborhood analysis and the mutant construction strategy. a A schematic representation of the genetic locus containing seven genes (CVO91_06470 to CVO91_06430), along with the adjacent genes, comparing gene organization characteristics in Bacillus subtilis, Streptococcus mutans, and S. suis. The genes bceABSR are ubiquitous, while sstFEG are exclusively present in S. suis. Sequence analysis of this genetic locus indicates three potential transcriptional terminators in the region between sstG and bceA and downstream of bceB and bceS. b A schematic representation of mutant construction strategy. Three fragments AB, Spc, and CD were fused to form an intermediate vector with pUC19 plasmid. The mutant strains were obtained via natural genetic transformation, screening, and identification
