Figure 3

(A) Strains MR2461 (Pvan-parB) and MR2472 (Pvan-parB ΔparB) were grown in CTT media in the presence of vanillate (for parB expression) to an O.D.550 of 0.8. The cultures were serially diluted, and 5 µl of each sample was spotted onto CTT plates containing vanillate (left), and no vanillate (right). (B) Microscope DIC images from a cell culture from the strain Pvan-parB ΔparB in the presence of vanillate (left image), and 48 hours after vanillate removal (right image).
