Assessing the influence of WalKR activity on LTA production. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) of purified LTA from NRS384 and isogenic mutant-derivative strains grown in LB. Each band indicates a glycerol phosphate polymer length of n + 1. Where bands are not clearly visible, this is due to heterogenous side chain modifications resulting in smearing patterns. Black and orange lines are shown and represent regions of distinct difference in LTA banding patterns between the strains.
