Fig. 2. — Representative phase-contrast micrographs (top rows) and FL-V staining (bottom rows) of deletion mutants lacking PG hydrolases or WalRK_Spn regulon members. Labeling and microscopy were carried out numerous times using independent cultures as described in Materials and Methods. (A) Deletion mutants in encapsulated strain D39: panel I, parent (IU1690); panel II, ΔdacB (IU3805); panel III, Δspd_0703 (IU3806); panel IV, Δpmp23 (IU3797). (B) Deletion mutants in isogenic unencapsulated strain D39: panel V, D39 Δcps parent (IU1945); panel VI, ΔdacB (IU3880); panel VII, Δspd_0703 (IU3881); panel VIII, Δpmp23 (IU3875); panel IX, ΔdacA ΔdacB (IU3957). Arrows indicate defects in cell morphology (phase micrographs) or PG pentapeptide localization (FL-V micrographs) compared to the IU1690 or IU1945 parent strain. The scale bars correspond to 2 μm.
