FIG. 4.
Chitin transformation of wza::TnphoA from V. vulnificus CVD752 into CMCP6 yields a translucent-colony morphotype. Genomic DNA from CVD752 (M06-24/O wza::TnphoA) was chitin transformed into CMCP6, selecting for kanamycin resistance and yielding FLA1009. Kanamycin-resistant colonies acquired the translucent-colony morphotype (B and D). (A) M06-24/O; (B) CVD752; (C) CMCP6; (D) FLA1009.
