SA2056 interactions determined using the bacterial two-hybrid system. (a) SA2056 interactions with itself and the FemABX factors. (b) SA2056 interactions with penicillin binding proteins (PBPs). Three representative co-transformants containing the plasmids indicated were analyzed regarding β-galactosidase activity, which was determined by measuring the formation of o-nitrophenol (top). Means of three technical replicates and their standard deviation are shown. The threshold corresponding to the highest negative control value multiplied by five is indicated by a dashed line. Alternatively, the ability of co-transformants to degrade lactose to lactate was tested on MacConkey agar (bottom), where acidification of the medium leads to pink colonies.
