Methylation levels of promoter 1-C and 1-H were higher in IMA. (a) Locations of promoter 1-C and 1-H. The gray vertical bars represent the exons of GR gene; the open bar represents the promoter. (b) Location of CpG island in promoter 1-C. (c) Location of CpG islands in promoter 1-H. Nucleotide numbering is relative to + 1 at the initiating ATG codon. (d) Methylation status of promoter 1-C in IMA and SA. (e) Methylation status of promoter 1-H in IMA and SA. Each line represents an individual bacterial clone that was sequenced. Open circles indicate unmethylated CpG sites. Black circles indicate methylated CpG sites.
