Wss, Psl, and α-glucan production are stimulated by low temperature. (A) Effect of temperature on Pst colony morphology on CR-supplemented media. Wild-type (WT) Pst and Pst wspR19 grown on KB and SFM at 28 °C and 8 °C. (B) qRT–PCR analysis of polysaccharide genes in WT Pst grown on KB agar at 28 °C (black) and 8 °C (grey). (C) Colony morphology of the WT, Δpsl, and Δwss on KB agar after 5 d of cold treatment at 8 °C. Strains with high cyclic-di-GMP (wspR19) are shown. (D) qRT–PCR analysis of polysaccharide genes in Pst wspR19 grown on KB agar at 28 °C (black) and 8 °C (grey). Values represented are means ±SD with n=2 (three technical replicates each). Significance was determined by Student’s t-test (∗∗P<0.005 and ∗∗∗∗P<0.0001). (A and C) Similar results were obtained in two independent experiments and a representative image is shown.
