MinCD-induced division inhibition and the effect of ftsZ (Rsa) alleles
| Strain | ftsZ allele(s) | Transformation efficiency (%)a |
|---|---|---|
| JKD7.2/pBef0 | Wild type | 0.5 |
| JKD7.2/pBef2 | ftsZ2 | 36.3 |
| JKD7.2/pBef9 | ftsZ9 | 2.3 |
| JKD7.2/pBef100 | ftsZ101 + ftsZ114 | 3.7 |
| JKD7.2/pBef114 | ftsZ114 | 5.3 |
a
Transformation efficiencies are the ratios of transformants obtained in two parallel electroporations made with two mini-F plasmids, pSEB14, carrying minCD, and pSEB12, carrying the complete minCDE operon. The latter serves as a positive control for transformation. The values are the ratios of pSEB14/pSEB12 transformants times 100.
