Fig 5.

Illustration compares bacterial growth on plates for wkB2 and wkB2 + recA::specR strains with kanR plasmid (pBTK519) and amsE::kanR gene fragment (gfPL147), depicting differences in colony formation between the strains.

Gene knockout is recA-dependent. Plates demonstrating that wkB2 (PL60; top left) and wkB2 + recA::specR (PL269; top right) are successfully electroporated with a control kanR plasmid (pBTK519). The knockout construct amsE::kanR (gfPL147) is incorporated into wkB2 (bottom left), but not wkB2 + recA::specR (bottom right).
