Figure 5

The integration of the PgcrR:cat fusion that is resident on plasmid pLM1 occurred via a double cross-over event into the chromosome of S. mutans UA159, GMS584 and SmuvicK at the phnA and mtlA loci. Sequencing across the S. mutans chromosome-pLM1 junction confirmed appropriate insertion of the PgcrR:cat fusion.
