  1. a The PCR product covering the rpoS gene was of differing size, consistent with variation in the rpoS-mutS region in the species E. coli [34]. The 1.3 Kb fragment corresponds to E. coli K-12, and the 4.2 Kb and 3.4 Kb products are equivalent to regions found by [35, 36].
  2. b The comparison is to the E. coli K-12 rpoS sequence
  3. * Not detectable RpoS in immunoblots (see Figure 1)
  4. ** Truncated RpoS, as described [63]
