Fig 6. Deleterious effects of yacF deletion can be fixed by inhibiting cell division.
A) Scanning electron microscopy images showing similar morphology (filaments) of N. elongata wild type and ΔyacF grown in presence of sub-inhibitory concentrations of penicillin G. B) Similar reverse-phase HPLC profile of muropeptides after mutanolysin digestion of purified insoluble PG of N. elongata wild type and ΔyacF grown in presence of penicillin G. C) Similar ratio of GM4 over GM5, GM4-GM3 over GM5-GM3 and finally GM4-GM4 over GM5-GM4. (*** p≤0.001; ** p≤0.01; * p≤0.05 compare to wild-type).
