From: Disruption of the carA gene in Pseudomonas syringae results in reduced fitness and alters motility
carA contributes to fitness in Arabidopsis seedlings. a Arabidopsis seedlings were inoculated with suspensions containing 1 × 107 CFU ml−1 of WT, ΔP32, or ΔcarA. At the time points shown, bacteria were extracted from leaves and plated on KB containing rifampicin for enumeration. The values shown are the average CFU/mg with standard deviation of three seedlings per strain. The experiment was repeated twice with similar results. b Disease phenotype of Arabidopsis seedlings flood-inoculated with a bacterial suspension of WT, ΔP32, or ΔcarA. Mock-inoculated seedlings were flooded with sterile distilled H2O containing 0.025 % Silwet L-77. Photographs were taken 2, 3, and 4 dpi
