Figure 1From: MamX encoded by the mamXY operon is involved in control of magnetosome maturation in Magnetospirillum gryphiswaldense MSR-1Comparison of cell growth and magnetic response (C mag ) in WT, mutant (∆ mamX ), and complemented strains (C mamX ). All experiments were performed in triplicate. A: There were no striking differences among the growth curves of the three strains. B: The Cmag value of ∆mamX was consistently zero. The Cmag value of WT increased from 0.17 at 0 hr to a maximum of 0.89 at 10 hr and then gradually decreased. The Cmag value of CmamX increased from 0.14 at 0 hr to 0.45 at 10 hr.Back to article page
