GFP-FtsN suppression

Constructa	Mutant background	Temp (°C)	Growth on:
			Ara	Glc	Glc + IPTG
GFP-FtsN	pBAD-ftsKb	37	+++e	++	+++
GFP-FtsN	ΔftsKc	37	−	−	+
GFP-FtsL	pBAD-ftsK	37	+++	−	−

^aAll GFP constructs were expressed from a single-copy pDSW204 promoter.

^bThe FtsK depletion strain was ΔftsK::cat-Δ5 complemented by pJC85 (pBAD42-ftsK).

^cΔftsK::cat-Δ5 with no complementing plasmid.

^dFtsN depletion strain.

^e+++, wild-type growth; ++, slightly wrinkled colonies; +, poor growth and wrinkled colonies; −, no growth.
