FIG. 5.
Sporulation phenotypes of strains carrying the ftsZ-egfp translational fusion. Panel A shows the colony appearance after 5 days of growth on MS agar, and panels B to F are phase-contrast micrographs of examples of spore chains and aerial hyphal fragments from the surfaces of colonies after 5 days of growth on MS agar. The S. coelicolor strains were the following: B, O17 {HU133 with plasmid pO17 [ftsZ17(Spo)]}; C, K203 (HU133 with plasmid pKF41 [ftsZ-egfp]); D, J2417 (HU133 with plasmid pKF32 [ftsZ+]); E, K205 {HU133 with plasmid pKF101 [ftsZ17(Spo)-egfp]}; F, HU133 (ΔftsZ::aphI).
