Sensitivity to killing by paraquat and H2O2 in the wild-type and algT mutant of P. syringae pv. syringae
| Strain | Characteristics | Growth inhibition zone (mean diam [mm] ± SE)a
|
|
|---|---|---|---|
| Paraquat (1.9%) | H2O2 (3%) | ||
| FF5(pPSR12) | Mucoid, wild-type | 24.4 ± 0.2 | 13.3 ± 0.1 |
| FF5.LK1 | Nonmucoid, algT::Cmr | 32.2 ± 0.2 | 16.5 ± 0.1 |
a
Sensitivities to paraquat and H2O2 are expressed as diameters of growth inhibition zones surrounding filter disks impregnated with 5 μl of the indicated solutions. The experiment was repeated with similar results.
