Figure 1. Growth of Y. enterocolitica strains in BHI (A, B) and LB (C,D).

Figure 1

(A and B) Bacteria were grown in BHI at 27°C (A) and 37°C (B): parental strains WA-314 (black diamonds) and JB580v (black squares), hfq-negative strains SOR3 (white diamonds), SOR4 (white triangles) and SOR17 (white squares). (C and D) Growth in LB of complemented strains at 27°C (C) and 37°C (D): JB580v(pACYC184) (black squares and straight line, parental strain harbouring the control plasmid), JB580v(pAhfq) (white square and dotted line, parental strain with complementing plasmid), SOR17(pACYC184) (black triangle and black line, hfq-negative strain with control plasmid), and SOR17(pAhfq) (white triangle and dotted line, complemented hfq strain). Full complementation of the growth defect of strains SOR3 and SOR4 was also observed after introduction of plasmid pAhfq (data not shown). Results are the mean and standard deviation (error bars) of two cultures and are representative of at least two independent experiments.
