TABLE 1.

Comparison of the growth rates and motilities of transposon mutants with those of the corresponding complemented mutants

Characteristic	Phenotype^a of:
	Mutants			Parental strain	Complemented mutants
	cycA::Tn10	mopB::Tn10	hydB::Tn10	Parental strain	cycA::Tn10 (pXZL3182)	mopB::Tn10 (pXZL2933)	hydB::Tn10 (pXZL0082)
Growth on:

^a

+++, ++, +, and − indicate growth or motility relative to that of the parental strain, with +++ being equivalent to the level of the parental strain.
