Figure 5

Influence of rRNA methyltransferase gene inactivation on the expression of exogenous reporter genes encoded on the plasmid carrying red fluorescent protein (RFP) gene under the control of a constitutive T5 promoter and cerulean fluorescent protein (CER) gene under a control of an induced Tet promoter. Shown are the intensities of the CER (blue) and RFP (orange) fluorescence in the overnight cultures of the strains devoid of the 16S rRNA (A) and 23S rRNA (B) methyltransferase genes as labeled below the graphs. WT corresponds to the parental isogeneic strain carrying all set of rRNA methyltransferase genes. IND marks the graphs corresponding to the induction of CER gene expression by anhydrotetracycline.
