Overexpression of prc or nlpI causes synthetic lethality with mepS and mepM mutations in minimal medium. (A) MG1655(attHKpWJ90, Ptac::empty), MG1655 (attHKpWJ186, Ptac::prc), HC611[Para::mepS, ΔmepM](attHKpWJ90), WJ283(Para::mepS, ΔmepM, ΔmepH;attHKpWJ90), HC611(attHKpWJ186) strains grown overnight in M9-arabinose medium were diluted in M9-glucose lacking casamino acids (CAA) and spotted on M9-glucose (no CAA) agar lacking or containing 100 μM IPTG for induction of prc expression. The plates were photographed after incubation for 40 h at 37°C. (B) MG1655(attHKpWJ90), MG1655 (attHKpWJ72, Ptac::nlpI), HC611(attHKpWJ90), WJ283(attHKpWJ90), HC611(attHKpWJ72) strains were grown, diluted, and spotted in the same way as in (A) except that 25 μM IPTG was used for induction of nlpI expression. The plates were photographed after incubation for 40 h at 30°C.
