FIG 4.

Mild overexpression of MraZ-GFP, FtsA-GFP, and FtsZ-GFP but not FtsW-GFP, MurG-GFP, or SecA-GFP sensitizes cells to C109. Cells were induced with 10 µM IPTG and then exposed to C109 for 12 h. A spot plate was used to count the CFU per milliliter. Counts are relative to each strain without C109 treatment. (A) Growth of strains expressing MraZ-GFP, FtsA-GFP, and FtsZ-GFP. (B) Growth of strains expressing MurG-GFP, SecA-GFP, and FtsW-GFP. Vector refers to the strains harboring pCA24N-empty. Error bars show mean ± SD, with n = 3 biological replicates.
