Gene 0.3 is required for productive infection of BREX+ culture by bacteriophage T7. Growth curves of BREX- (A), EcoKI+ (B) and BREX+ (C) cell cultures infected with wild-type, 0.3–0.7 fusion, or Δ0.3 T7 phages at MOI = 0.001 are shown. (‘BREX-’ is an Escherichia coli BW25113 with an empty pBTB-2 vector; ‘BREX+’ carries a full E. coli HS BREX gene cluster inserted into the pBTB-2 vector; and ‘EcoKI+’ is E. coli AB1157 carrying a genomic copy of type I EcoKI R–M system). Phage was added at t = 0, and each growth curve represents the mean optical density and standard deviation values obtained from three independent experiments.
