Number (log CFU/sprout) on sprouts after 1 and 3 days of growth.
a
Not Done (because the flaA mutants had no phenotype on sprouts).
b
For each set of parent and isogenic mutant strains within a column, numbers followed by the same letter are not statistically different, and a different letter indicates a statistical difference.
