TABLE 2.
Influence of pltR on transcription of plt biosynthesis genes assessed with an ice nucleation reporter gene (inaZ)
| Transcriptional fusiona | INA [log (ice nuclei per cell)]b
|
|
|---|---|---|
| pltR+ | pltR | |
| pltE::Tn3-nice | −1.3 a | −8.8 b |
| pltB::Tn3-nice | −1.6 a | −8.9 b |
| pltF::Tn3-nice | −1.4 a | −8.8 b |
a
pltE::Tn3-nice derivatives were JL4365 (pltR+) and JL4564 (pltR), pltB::Tn3-nice derivatives were JL4389 (pltR+) and JL4565 (pltR), and pltF::Tn3-nice derivatives were JL4390 (pltR+) and JL4566 (pltR).
b
Values followed by the same letter do not differ significantly (P = 0.05) from one another, as determined by Duncan’s multiple-range test.
