FIG 5.

The ΔyeiE^lib mutant is hypermotile. Normalized overnight cultures of the WT (HA420), ΔmotA mutant (JE1202), ΔyeiE mutant (JE973), ΔyeiE^lib mutant (JE1681), ΔyeiE^lib mutant with the empty vector (ΔyeiE^lib + V; JE2014), and complemented ΔyeiE^lib mutant (ΔyeiE^lib + CP; JE2016) were spotted onto swimming plates. Statistical significance was determined by Student's t test (P < 0.05). * indicates a significant difference between the WT and mutant. (B) Representative photographs of swimming plates from one experiment.
