The role of TcsC in the stress-induced developmental program leading to a fluffy growth phenotype.

Abstract

<p>Drop dilution assays were performed on AMM plates (supplemented with ammonium). Panel A: 1% oxygen; B: 2% oxygen; C: 2 mM farnesol; D: 200 µM farnesol; E: 2 mM farnesol; F: 100 mM MgSO₄; G: 100 mM CaCl₂; H: 100 mM MgSO₄; I: 50 mM CaCl₂; J: 500 mM CaCl₂. Side views of colonies from C and D are shown in panels E and F. The depicted colonies were photographed after 48 h at 37°C.
