Strains shown at the top of the columns are the indicator strains, while strains in the first column are the tested strains dropped onto the indicator agar plates. Strain EPS, Hfx. mediterranei strain DF50 ΔEPS; strain EPSH, Hfx. mediterranei strain DF50 ΔEPS ΔhalH4; strain EPSH-H4, Hfx. mediterranei strain DF50 ΔEPS ΔhalH4::halH4; strain EPSR, Hfx. mediterranei strain DF50 ΔEPS ΔhlyR4; strain EPSHR, Hfx. mediterranei strain DF50 ΔEPS ΔhalH4 ΔhlyR4; strain EPSR-R4, Hfx. mediterranei strain DF50 ΔEPS ΔhlyR4::hlyR4; strain EPSHR-R4, Hfx. mediterranei strain DF50 ΔEPS ΔhalH4 ΔhlyR4::hlyR4. These results were obtained through three biological replicates.
