Table 2 Consequences of selective manipulation of MSggN media composition on surface colony formation of the hag null strain. This data shows how systematically lowering concentrations of macronutrients and micronutrients affects the growth pattern on MSggN agarose plates. In each case 5 mM KCl was present, except where KCl was varied, and plates were inoculated in triplicate to reveal the surface colony pattern (film or tendrils) after 24 h growth at 37°C.
