FIGURE 11

Gel analysis of segregants from candidate mutant-containing clones. Primer pair 1 (FP1169/FP1170) amplifies a 346 bp fragment in the parent and a 277 bp fragment in the mutant. Primer pair 2 (FP1171/FP1172) amplifies a 399 bp fragment in the parent but produces no band in the mutant, since primer 1171 is located in the deleted locus. DNA 1 and 4 were extracted from two pure mutant colonies retrieved from the first screening procedure (C1 and C4 in Figure 10). Colonies 1 and 4 (C1, C4) were isolated and grown from the first screening procedure for several generations in order to promote segregation of the mutant strain. L, DNA ladder Gene Ruler 1kb plus (GenScript); DNA control, control with type strain DNA; DNA, extracted DNA after the first screening followed by the colony number; 2C, tested colony after growing for several generations to allow segregation, followed by the colony number.
