* - Strains were grown in TY supplemented with 85 mM NaCl (hyperosmotic) or GYM medium (hypo-osmotic) supplemented with Dilworth's vitamins for 2 days, and the growth was compared with that of strains grown in TY medium. OD600 values were measured. Percentage growth values are the mean and SD from three independent trials.

† Difference between the wild type and the rosR mutants is statistically significant at P < 0.05 (Student's t test).
