Integrase I of E. coli 536 is subject to autoregulation and represses its own promoter. (A) YFP fluorescence signal of E. coli strains 536 intI::yfp (chromosomal promoter fusion), 536 intI-yfp (chromosomal operon), and E. coli strain 536 (pMC5) that encodes an artificial plasmid-encoded intI-yfp operon, and E. coli strain 536 (pMC3) with a plasmid-encoded intI::yfp fusion normalized to the cell density (OD595). The columns represent the average of three biological replicates (*P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001). (B) YFP fluorescence signal distribution within the corresponding bacterial populations (107 cells per sample were analyzed).
