Figure 5.
Effects of FtsZ or FtsZL169R on different expression levels of ftsA or ftsAR286W in the presence or absence of zipA. Scale bars as in Figure 1A. (A) Representative phase contrast micrographs of WT (W3110), ftsZL169R, or ftsZL169R zipA::kan backgrounds with empty pDSW210F or with plasmid expressing ftsAWT or ftsAR286W under uninduced (no IPTG) or induced (0.5 mM IPTG) conditions. See Table 1 for quantification of these images. (B) Representative IFM images of W3110 ftsZL169R cells with empty pDSW210F or with plasmid expressing ftsAWT or ftsAR286W (0.5 mM IPTG). Staining and scale are the same as in Figure 1A.
