RcGTA production in R. capsulatus acyl-HSL synthase mutant strain ΔgtaI in response to the addition of cell-free media from stationary phase cultures. On the left are data from wild-type strain B10 and ΔgtaI mutant controls with no addition, and on the right are data from addition of C16-acyl-HSL or sterile LB medium to the ΔgtaI mutant. In the middle are data when added media were from: wild-type R. capsulatus B10 (+ WT); R. sphaeroides 2.4.1 (R. sph); P. denitrificans (P. den); R. palustris CGA009 (R. pal ); E. coli MG1655 (E. col ).

A. Western blot evaluating RcGTA capsid production.

B. Frequency of RcGTA-mediated gene transfer relative to the wild-type strain B10. Error bars represent the standard deviation of the mean between samples (n = 3).
