Figure 3. Truncated variants of the predicted ComS peptide and their effect on transformation efficiency.

Figure 3

A) Induction of competence by the truncated variants (from 13 to 6 amino acids) of the predicted ComS at 250 µM peptide and 10 ng/µl of the plasmid pNZ8048. Error bars show the standard deviation of 4 different experiments. B) Sequences of full length and truncated variants of the competence inducing peptide.
