2. Characterization and quantification of ΔybeX and Keio
wild-type (WT) colony sizes at 37°C and 42°C. (A )
Representative LB agar plates with colonies of WT and ΔybeXstrains. As indicated on the panel‘s top, the cells were plated from LB
or MOPS minimal media and the agar plates were incubated at 37°C
overnight. (B-C ) Density plots of the distribution of
quantified colony radiuses of ΔybeX and isogenic WT strains at
37°C and 42°C. The colonies were quantified from three independent
experiments as of the plates in panel A. (D ) Colony counts for
WT and ΔybeX strains grown in LB or MOPS minimal media as in
panel A. Values of four biological replicates with three technical
replicates each are shown.
