Fig. 2. Morphology of the rough and smooth colonies of the representative S. Typhimurium isolates in this study.
In this study, the rough colony strain SF175, smooth colony strain 2015114, control strain ATCC 14028, and mutants SF175-ΔcsgD and SF175-csgD with -44 T > G were selected as representatives to observe the colony morphology. A, B Colony morphology of the representative S. Typhimurium isolates grown for seven consecutive days on Luria-Bertani agar containing Congo red and Coomassie blue without salt at 28 °C and 37 °C. C, D Scanning electron micrographs of the representative S. Typhimurium isolates cultured for 24 h at 28 °C and 37 °C. Representative scanning electron micrograph for one replicate. Scale bar, 5 mm.
