Figure 1From: The alkylation response protein AidB is localized at the new poles and constriction sites in Brucella abortusThe B. abortus aidB mutant is more sensitive to EMS. The sensitivity of B. abortus wild-type, aidB mutant strain, complemented aidB mutant and aidB overexpression strains was scored by counting the c.f.u. recovered after 4 h of incubation 2YT medium at 37°C, in the presence of 0.2, 0.4 or 1% EMS. The results are expressed as the percentage of c.f.u. compared to a control in which EMS was omitted. Bacteria were obtained from cultures stopped during exponential growth phase.Back to article page
