Four mutants (espE, espF, espG, and espH) have significantly impaired sliding motility. (A) Sliding motility of M. marinum deletion mutants (∆espE, ∆espF, ∆espG, ∆espH, and ∆eccA1) and M. marinum NTUH-M6885 (wild-type) on sliding agar plates. (B) Quantification of sliding diameters of the 6 strains shown in (A). (C) Sliding motility of complemented strains relative to M. marinum NTUH-M6885 harboring pMN437 on sliding plates. (D) Quantification of sliding diameters of the nine strains in (C). The quantification of the sliding diameters was used for normalization, with the wild-type diameter being assigned a value of 1. Means and SDs from three independent experiments were calculated with one-way ANOVA (∗∗p < 0.01, ∗∗∗p < 0.001).
