Reservoir of Bacterial Exotoxin Genes in the Environment

<table>ClustalX2 guide tree of the top BLASTN hits of the <i>sea</i> gene from the ambient environmental isolate. The ambient air isolate is highlighted by a gray box along with <i>S. aureus</i> strains FRI337 and FRI281A (Food Research Institute) because the positive control used for <i>sea</i> exotoxin PCR comes from <i>S. aureus </i>strain FRI913. Percent identities are indicated beside the organism name as listed in GenBank. The GenBank Accession number for the <i>sea</i>-related gene is HQ698309.</table>
