Table 1. Strains used in this study.
| E. faecalis strain | Description | Reference |
|---|---|---|
| OG1RF(pCF10) | Wild-type OG1RF carrying wild-type pCF10 plasmid. | [29] |
| OG1RF(pCF10-GFP) | pCF10 with a, RBSprgB-GFP construct located between prgB and prgC. The cassette disrupts the small prgU ORF1. Alternative name: OG1RF(pCF10-LC1). | [23] and sequencing results |
| OG1SSp | Wild-type recipient. | [30] |
| OG1RF-GFP | Wild-type expressing GFP constitutively. Alternative name is SD234. | [27] |
| OG1RF(pCF10-prgC-GFP) | Wild-type pCF10 GFP construct located downstream of prgC. | Gift from Gary Dunny and Wei-Shou Hu |
