1 Plasmids mentioned in parentheses were integrated at the chromosomal Mx8 attB site with the exception of those marked with an asterisk (*), which were integrated at the native site by a single homologous recombination event. Constructs were transcribed from the native promoter (Pnat) or the pilA promoter (PpilA) as indicated.
