FIG 3.
Expression of cap5 in 300-169p, 301-188p, and 301-188p::ϕSA169 strains at 6-h incubation time by flow cytometry (A). Relative fluorescence units (RFU) were used to measure green fluorescent protein (GFP) expression. Cells with >10 RFU were demonstrated as positive for GFP expression. The results are representative of flow cytometry data in histograms from one replicate (A). Growth curves and generation times (inset; during exponential phase) (B), ATP levels at late-exponential phase (6-h incubation) and relative survival rates to VAN (C), biofilm formation (D), and δ-hemolysin activity (E) in 300-169p, 301-188p, and 301-188p::ϕSA169 strains. *, P < 0.01; **, P < 0.001, versus 301-188p strain.
