Figure Lengend Snippet: Distribution and sequence coverage of Tn5 mutants in the S. praecaptivus genome are depicted as a histogram (A, Upper). Note that mutations affecting Sant_4061 are the most abundant in the library, following growth in LB media. The zoomed in regions of the histogram (A, Lower) reveal the distribution and abundance of Tn5 mutants in the genomic regions encoding phoPQ and Sant_4061 (in red), with the mutants recovered in the screen for polymyxin B sensitivity highlighted in orange, with the number of recovered mutants shown above each column. Growth curves for WT S. praecaptivus and Sant_4061 and phoP mutants grown in either LB or LB + Polymyxin B (PB) for 10 hours (B). Standard errors are shown above and below the average of three replicates at each time point. ΔSant_4061, ΔphoQ, and ΔphoP are unable to grow on LB supplemented with polymyxin B (C).
Article Snippet: Construction of phoP and phoQ knockouts A plasmid construct consisting of approximately 500 bp of homologous sequence up and downstream of phoP with an internal kanamycin cassette was commercially produced (Genscript).
