Influence of DacA on prodigiosin-synthesis gene pigA expression and cell shape. (A) Gene organization of the prodigiosin biosynthetic gene clusters in S. marcescens. These 14 genes were transcribed as a polycistronic mRNA from a promoter upstream of pigA gene. (B) RT-qPCR analysis of the pigA gene expression level in the strains JNB5-1 and dacA mutant SK4-72. (C) SEM images of the cells of JNB5-1, SK4-72, and SK4-72/pXW1803 strains. (D) Measurements of cell length and width of the indicated cells (40 cells for each strains). For (B), the experiment was performed in biological triplicates. Error bars indicate the standard deviations. For (D), one-way ANOVA was used to examine the mean differences between the data groups. ****p < 0.0001; ns, No significant difference.
