Figure 8. Short-cell phenotype as the result of ldtR inactivation by small molecules.

Micrographs were taken after addition of benzbromarone, hexestrol, or phloretin to (A) S. meliloti, or (B) L. crescens cells. Samples were taken and stained with crystal violet. Magnification 600×, scale bar, 5.00 µm. Micrograph pictures are representative of three biological replicates.
