FIG 3.

Lon-deficient mutant has increased UV sensitivity and decreased motility. (A) UV (27 J/m²) survival of WT, lon::FRT, and lon::FRTc strains. Data shown are the means for experiments performed in biological duplicate, and error bars represent standard deviations. An unpaired two-tailed t test was used for statistical analysis, relative to the WT strain. *, P < 0.05; NS, not significant. (B) WT, lon::FRT, and lon::FRTc strains were spotted on modified 0.3% YT-agarose to test motility. Representative images for experiments performed in at least triplicate are shown.
