a

Growth measurements of plasmids were determined in strain WA1031 (AB2847 fecA).

b

The plasmids listed also carry the fecIR regulatory genes.

c

Growth was measured as the diameters of the growth zones around 6-mm-diameter filter disks which had been saturated with 10 μl of the indicated concentrations of sodium citrate.
