Sensitivity to dnaB overexpression correlates with levels of replisome pausing and breakdown. (a) Colony-forming ability of the indicated strains [(i–iv) JGB064, N6577, SS1076 and JGB066, respectively] containing pJGB143 without and with 0.2% arabinose. (b) Colony-forming ability of rep+ and Δrep strains bearing pJGB143 with the indicated rpoB mutations in the presence of 0%, 0.02% and 0.2% arabinose. Strains (i)–(vi) were TB28, AM2158, N5925, N6577, HB278 and N7604, respectively.
