Spontaneous envelope formation in wild-type and mutant strains. After heating to 100°C in the presence of SDS and 2-mercaptoethanol envelopes were counted. The numbers obtained are expressed as percentage of total number of cells and plotted as a function of time after confluence. Virtually no envelopes were produced by any of the three mutant strains.
