Figure 5

Phenotypic analysis of the msaABCR deletion mutant complemented with the frameshift msaC mutation. The msaABCR operon construct containing the frameshift msaC mutant (msaABCR _fsmut msaC) was introduced in the msaABCR operon deletion mutant. The following phenotypic assays were performed: (A) pigmentation; (B) production of extracellular proteases; and (C) biofilm formation. Values are shown as the percent activity relative to the wild type strain USA300 LAC, which was set as 100%. Values represent the average of three independent assays, which were done in triplicate. Results are reported as the mean ± S.E.
