Absence of aPBPs partially suppresses the phenotype of the ∆murJ∆amj strain. (A) Strain JDB4181 (blue; ∆murJ ∆amj Pspank*-amj) and JDB4493 (green; ∆pbpDFG ΔponA ∆murJ ∆amj Pspank*-amj) were grown in LB in the presence or absence of inducer (1 mM IPTG), and OD₆₀₀ was determined. (B) Samples of the cultures in A were examined by microscopy at time point t = 120 min as described. Shown is one example, and biological replicates exhibited similar patterns of growth.
