Section 1

Genome-atlas view of the L. plantarum WCFS1 chromosome, with the predicted origin of replication at the top. The outer to inner circles show (i) positive strand ORFs (red); (ii) negative strand ORFs (blue); (iii) GC-skew (green); (iv) G+C content (black); (v) prophage-related functions (green) and IS-like elements (purple); and (vi) rDNA operons (black) and tRNA encoding genes (red). Kleerebezem 2003.

Include some current research, with at least one figure showing data.

Section 2

Lactate and acetate production pathways in Lactobacillus plantarum. EMP, Embden–Meyerhof Parnas pathway; LDH, lactate dehydrogenase; POX, pyruvate oxidase; PDH, pyruvate dehydrogenase; PFL, pyruvate formate lyase; PTA, phosphotransacetylase; AK, acetate kinase. Quatravaux 2006.

Include some current research, with at least one figure showing data.
