FIG 9.

Schematic of RecT’s role in modulation of prophage excision and omnifarious host core phenotypic traits. Solid lines show explicit regulatory relationships that have been established previously. Dotted lines indicate cryptic hints (direct or indirect) that need further investigation. Arrowheads stand for a specific extent of stimulation or enhancement, while bars represent inhibition of a sort. RecT is depicted in gradient-colored hexagon textboxes. Related structural proteins or enzymes are depicted in gray circular textboxes. EPS, extracellular polymeric substances; SOS, stress response; IM, inner membrane; OM, outer membrane.
