Survival of different <i>rif-nal</i> strains on MMC plates.
<p>a. % survival of relevant <i>gyrA87-</i>Rif<sup>R</sup> strains on LB plates containing 0.5 µg/ml of MMC. b. % survival of relevant <i>rpoB87-</i>Nal<sup>R</sup> strains on LB plates containing 0.5 µg/ml of MMC. The values plotted are the average of three independent set of experiments. The standard error values are given as error bars. The % survival values were calculated as (cfu per ml in LB with MMC plates/cfu per ml in LB plates w/o MMC) X100.</p
<i>rpoB</i> alleles used in this study and their relevant characteristics.
*<p>Values given as fold increase in termination read through are from Jin <i>et al</i>, 1988.</p
Level of MMC survival in relevant strains and its implications.
<p>R (+++) – ∼100% survival.</p><p>R (++) – ∼1% survival.</p><p>S (−) – ∼0.01–0.001% survival.</p><p>S (–) – ∼ 0.0001–0.00001% survival.</p><p>S (–) – Complete loss of survival.</p
Sequential spotting test for analyses of survival of various Rif-Nal strains on LB plates containing 0.5 µg/ml of MMC after ∼24 hours incubation.
<p>Appropriate control strains (AB1157 for positive control and DM49 for Negative control) were also tested. The growth of the respective strains on LB plates without MMC after ∼12–14 hours incubation is given on the right.</p
Extent of filamentation in MMC untreated and 0.5 µg/ml MMC treated samples of indicated strains as observed under light microscope.
<p>Relevant genotypes of the strains are mentioned wherever appropriate.</p
