Fig. 6. rebP1P2 and genes in the reb cluster contribute to host killing.
a, b Killing kinetics of C. elegans following exposure to P. aeruginosa with the indicated genotypes. The role of gacA in C. elegans pathogenicity has been described previously41 and gacA::Tn therefore serves as a control for defective killing in this assay. Error bars denote standard deviation and p values were calculated using unpaired, two-tailed t-tests. n ≥ 5 biological replicates from four experiments. The n values indicate the number of plates, each containing a PA14 lawn and 30–40 worms. Data are presented as mean values ± SD.
