    ( A ) Phase contrast images of C. crescentus wild-type, Δ anmK (PR252), and Δ amgK (PR262) cells, harvested in the exponential and stationary growth phase. Scale bar: 5 µm. ( B ) Superplots showing the distribution of cell lengths in populations of C. crescentus wild-type, Δ anmK (PR252), and Δ amgK (PR262) cells in the exponential (exp) and stationary (stat) growth phase. Data (n=100 cells per replicate) are presented as described for . The statistical significance ( p -value) of differences between conditions was assessed using a two-sided Welch’s t -test. ns indicates p -values >0.1. ( C ) Serial dilution spot assay investigating the growth of C. crescentus Δ anmK (PR252) and Δ amgK (PR262) on plates containing different concentrations of ampicillin. The cells were spotted on the same plates as those depicted in . See for all replicates (n=3 independent experiments). ( D ) Levels of N-acetylmuramic acid (Mur N Ac) in the cytoplasm of C. crescentus wild-type and Δ amgK (PR262) cells, measured by metabolomics analysis through quantification of the corresponding mass spectrometric peak areas. The mass spectrometric peak areas were normalized against the mean obtained for the Δ amgK mutant.
