Figure 5. Inactivation of ldtRSmc or ldtPSmc results in a short-cell phenotype.

Figure 5

Representative Scanning Electron Micrographs (SEM) of (A) wild type, (B) SMP1, and (C) SMP2 strains of S. meliloti. Cultures were grown in LB medium to mid-exponential phase and processed for SEM analysis to assess the morphological effects of ldtRSmc or ldtPSmc gene disruption. (D) Wild type strain grown in presence of 25 µM phloretin. Scale bar, 1.00 µm.
