FIG. 6.

Developmental phenotypes of mutants containing in-frame deletions of orphan histidine protein kinase genes. (A) Developmental phenotypes on CF agar. The indicated strains were starved on CF agar for the indicated periods of time. All strains analyzed are derivatives of DK1622; below strain numbers, the in-frame deletion present in a particular strain is indicated. Scale bar, 1.0 mm. (B) Developmental phenotypes in submerged culture. The same strains as in panel A were exposed to starvation in submerged culture for 120 h. Scale bar, 100 μm.
