Fig 7. Impact of rrnD deletion on the amount of anucleate cells found in liquid culture for strains containing a parS site located 330 and 898 kb on the left of oriC (ΔparS1234 parS -330 (strains IVGB481 and IVGB524) and ΔparS1234 parS -898 (strains VLB69 and IVGB526), respectively).
A schematic representation of the positioning of parS and rrnD on the chromosome is shown on the left. Histograms and error bars represent the mean and standard deviation for at least three independent experiments. Significant differences between strains were determined by t test. *, P<0.001.
