Figure 2. Effects of mutations of GGDEF-EAL protein-encoding genes on sliding motility of Xoc.

Figure 2

The sliding motility of ΔXOC_2102, ΔXOC_2393 and ΔXOC_4190 was significantly increased compared with that of the wild-type strain. The complementation strains ΔXOC_2102(2102), ΔXOC_2393(2393) and ΔXOC_4190(4190) restored sliding motility to the wild-type level. (b) The sliding motility of ΔXOC_2335/XOC_2393 was significantly increased compared with the wild type and was restored by the full-length XOC_2393 gene, but not by the full-length XOC_2335 gene. The sliding motility of different strains was evaluated on SB medium plates with 0.6% noble agar after incubating at 28 °C for 4 d. The ratios of colony diameter of the mutant strains to the wild type were shown. Means ± SE are shown. The letters (a–d) indicate significant difference (P < 0.05) by Duncan’s multiple range test.
