Fig 3. stcA^ins does not modify the tgrB1⁻ phenotype.

A. We developed tgrB1⁻ and tgrB1⁻stcA^ins on non-nutrient agar and photographed the structures from above with light microscopy at 16 hour, 24 hour and 72 hour as indicated on the top. Strain genotypes are indicated on the left. Scale bar, 0.2 mm. B. We measured the sporulation efficiency of tgrB1⁻ and tgrB1⁻stcA^ins at 72 hour. The results are shown as the average and s.d. of the fraction of cells (%, y-axis; n = 3) that made spores scaled to the wild type AX4. Strain genotypes are indicated on the bottom.
