Distribution of McpG-GFP fluorescence in aerobically grown cellsa
| Strain | Total no. of fluorescing cells | No. of cells with normal fluorescence | No. of cells with aberrant fluorescence | % Aberrant fluorescence ± SEM |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| mcpG-egfp | 527 | 494 | 33 | 6.3 ± 1.4 |
| ΔcheR1 mcpG-egfp | 527 | 503 | 24 | 4.6 ± 1.3 |
| ΔcheR2 mcpG-egfp | 602 | 571 | 31 | 5.1 ± .95 |
| ΔcheB1 mcpG-egfp | 866 | 840 | 26 | 3.0 ± .75 |
All percentages are given with respect to the total number of fluorescing cells from at least five independent experiments. None of the mutant strains showed a greater degree of aberrant fluorescence than in the wild-type background.
