a Putative exopolysaccharide gene cluster (eps) located in contig NZ_RHMA01000026.1 and other genes involved in exopolysaccharide production located in contig NZ_RHMA01000008.1 by L. fermentum D12 strain. epsA: transcriptional regulator; epsC: tyrosine kinase modulator; epsD: tyrosine kinase; epsB: manganese-dependent tyrosine phosphatase; wzx: flippase; glf: UDP-galactopyranose mutase; epsC´: tyrosine kinase modulator/chain length determination; wzy: polysaccharide polymerase; gt: glycosyltransferase; epsE: Undecaprenyl galactose phosphotransferase; C: cytoplasmic membrane; P: periplasm. Transcribing directions, gene functions and module size are respectively shown by oriented arrows, different colors and arrow length. b Putative genes encoding the enzymes involved in the activation of the precursor molecules: glucose pyranose and galactose furanose. c Proposal of the putative biosynthetic model of the EPS cluster of L. fermentum D12.
