Effects of high salinity on the growth of the opuE mutant strain BLOB9 and its parent strain JH642. Cells of strain JH642 (opuE+) (●) and BLOB9 [Δ(opuE::tet)1] (▲) were grown at 37°C in SMM (A) or SMM with 1.2 M NaCl (B). Growth of strain JSB8 [Δ(proHJ::tet)1] (■) was also monitored at a high salinity for competitive purposes. (C) Cultures of strain JH642 (opuE+) (●), BLOB9 [Δ(opuE::tet)1] (▲), and BLOB26 [Δ(opuE::tet)1 × pBLOB15.2 (opuE+ sapB+)] (△) were cultivated in SMM with various salinities for 16 h at 37°C, and the optical densities of the cultures were then determined. The data shown represent a typical set of growth experiments.
