FIG. 2.

Germination and outgrowth of native and decoated spores in BHI. Wild-type (♦), cwlJ1and ΔcwlJ1 (▪), cwlJ2 (▴), sleB (•), ΔcwlJ1 ΔsleB (×), ΔcwlJ1-plus-pBKJ236 (−), and ΔcwlJ1-plus-pDPV345 (+) spores were heat activated and germinated in BHI at 39°C. (A) Germination of native spores. (B) Germination of decoated spores. (C) Complementation of the ΔcwlJ1 phenotype. Data shown are averages for three independent experiments; error bars are omitted for clarity. Asterisks indicate those time points when cwlJ1 (A), sleB (B), or ΔcwlJ1 and ΔcwlJ1-plus-pBKJ236 (C) spores were significantly different (P ≤ 0.05) from wild-type spores. The ΔcwlJ1 ΔsleB spores (A) were significantly different from those of the wild type at all time points except 60 to 70 min, where the lines cross.
