The transcription foci are apparent and the nucleoids are hyper-condensed in the “relaxed” ΔrelA mutant cells during amino acid starvation induced by SHX. RNAP, nucleoid, RNAP/nucleoid overlay and nucleoid/cell overlay of the mutant cells containing rpoC-venus grown in LB or in LB + SHX for 30 min at 37°C. In the RNAP/nucleoid overlay, the RNAP is false colored in green and the nucleoid is false colored in red. The scale bar represents 2 μm.
