Population analyses of different strains in the presence or absence of capsule. a) S. aureus SA137/93G harbouring pCapDvorne grown on BHI agar in the absence of xylose (capsule; □ ) or in the presence of xylose (no capsule; ▄ ); b) S. aureus SA137/93G harbouring pCapDvorne grown on TSA without glucose in the absence (□ ) or in the presence of xylose (▄ ); c) S. aureus HG001 (□ ) and S. aureus HG001 harbouring pcap5E (▄ ) which leads to reconstitution of capsule biosynthesis on BHI agar; d) S. aureus Newman harbouring an insertion of pMUTIN4 in the capsule promoter grown on MH agar in the absence (□ ) and the presence (▄ ) of 1 mM IPTG.
