Figure 2. CwpV expression in ΔrecV mutants.

Figure 2

Overnight C. difficile cultures of WT, ΔrecV(pRecV+), ΔrecV(pRecVY176F), ΔrecV OFF (×4) and ΔrecV ON (×4) were grown and analysed in the following ways: A. S-layer extracts were prepared and analysed by SDS-PAGE and Coomassie staining. B. Western blot of S-layer extracts using anti-CwpVrptI antibody (top; 1∶5000) and anti-CwpVNter antibody (bottom; 1∶5000). ◂, repeat domain; ◃, N-terminal domain. C. Orientation-specific PCR amplifying the ON and OFF orientations of the cwpV switch. D. Immunofluorescence analysis of expression of CwpV using anti-CwpVrptI antibody. Phase and fluorescence images of one field of view are shown.
