From: Disruption of the carA gene in Pseudomonas syringae results in reduced fitness and alters motility
carA contributes to fitness in tomato. a Four-week-old Tomato cv. MoneyMaker tomato plants were dipped in suspensions containing 1 × 107 CFU ml−1 of WT, ΔP32, or ΔcarA. At the time points indicated, bacteria were extracted from leaves and plated on KB containing rifampicin for enumeration. The values shown are the average CFU/mg with standard deviation from three plants per strain. Similar results were obtained in two repetitions of the experiment. b Tomato leaves photographed at 7 dpi (c) Whole tomato plants photographed at 7 dpi
