Phenotypic analysis of the msaC and msaABCR deletion mutants and the complemented strains. Comparison of the msaC and msaABCR deletion mutant phenotypes relative to the complemented mutants and the wild type USA300 LAC strain. The following phenotypic assays were performed: (A) pigmentation; (B) production of extracellular proteases; and (C) biofilm formation. Values are shown as the percent activity relative to the wild type strain USA300 LAC, which was set as 100%. Values represent the average of three independent assays which were done in triplicate. Results are reported as the mean ± S.E.
