Motility of threonine mutants. (A) Motility on soft-agar plates of the threonine mutants. Overnight cultures were inoculated in soft-agar plates (0.25% agar) and incubated at 30 °C for 5 h. (B) Motility fraction of threonine mutants in the liquid medium. After 4 h of the second culture, motility was examined by light microscopy. Squares, diamonds, and circles indicate data of three independent experiments and the white bars are the total data. Numbers of bacteria examined in total are 482, 313, 390, 351, 378, 369, 291, and 350 for Vector, WT, PomA-T5A, PomA-T158A, PomA-T185A, PomA-T186A, PomB-T21A, and PomB-D24N, respectively. (C) Swimming speed of threonine mutants in the liquid medium. Thick horizontal lines are the average swimming speed. Number of bacteria examined in total is 125. (D) Expression level of stator proteins in threonine mutants. After growth for 4 h, cells were collected. The proteins were separated by SDS-PAGE and the gels were subjected to Western blotting using anti-PomA or PomB antibody. The regions of interest were cropped from the blotting images. The full-length blots are presented in Fig. S14(A).
