a
Dilutions of cells were spotted on the indicated plates, and then relative growth was recorded. Growth relative to the wild-type strain under each condition is indicated as follows: +++, >30% of that of the wild type; ++, 3% to 30% of that of the wild type; +, 0.3% to 3% of that of the wild type; and −, no growth.
b
wk, week. rvs161Δ grew more slowly coming out of the stationary phase but did not display reduced viability.
