Figure 1. Construction and confirmation of BMΔvirB and BM-IVGT strains.

Figure 1

A) The promoter was amplified from BM and BM-IVGT, but not from BMΔvirB, showing that the promoter was deleted in BMΔvirB and complemented in BM-IVGT. B) RT-PCR amplification of virB1 and virB8 showed that the two genes could be amplified from BM and BM-IVGT, but not BMΔvirB, indicating that transcription of virB genes was inactivated in BMΔvirB and restored in BM-IVGT.
