degUEvo is responsible for the alteration in swarming motility and colony architecture. (a) Swarming motility assay of Ancestral, Evolved, degUAnc, degUEvo, ΔdegU, and Lab. LB plates fortified with 0.7% of agar were inoculated incubated for 16 h at 28 °C. Swarm expansion, resulting from bacterial growth, appears in white, whereas uncolonized agar appears in black. (b) Representative images showing the complex colony architecture development along with the indicated time points of the Ancestral and Evolved. The strains were grown in MSgg medium at 28 °C. (c) Representative images showing the complex colony architecture of the indicated strains on MSgg agar plates incubated for 96 h at 28 °C. Scale bars 1 cm. For all panels, the assays were repeated a minimum of three times. This figure was generated with Microsoft PowerPoint 2019 MSO (version 16.0.10366.20016; https://www.microsoft.com).
