Flagellar motor switch FliG silencing reduces bacterial motility. (A) L. biflexa colonies containing wither pMaOri.dCas9 or pMaOri.dCas9sgRNAfliG were visualized under light microscope and their diameter calculated. (B) Graphic shows the average ± standard deviation of 15 colonies of each plate. For statistical analysis, diameter values displayed by cells containing dCas9 and sgRNA were compared to the ones displayed by cells containing pMaOri.dCas9 plasmid alone by Student’s two-tailed t test (*P < 0.05). (C) Different colonies were selected, grown in liquid media and cell extracts of two distinct leptospiral pools were transferred onto nitrocellulose membrane, which was probed with mouse anti-recombinant FliG (1:500) and HRP-conjugated anti-mouse IgG (1:5,000); after development with chemiluminescent substrate, the same membrane was washed and incubate with mouse anti-DnaK antiserum (1:3,000) as loading control.
