Figure 2. Elongated chain formation in the AtlS and AtlS/LytF mutant.

Cells were grown to mid-logarithmic phase and phase contrast images taken at 400 fold magnification. The images are adjusted for contrast and brightness. Images were taken using an Olympus BX51 microscope, Olympus DP72 digital camera and cellSens 1.3 software. Shown is a representative of 2 independent experiments with similar outcome.
