Average cell length of strains BH736 (∆ugtP; P xyl -ugtP-his) and BH12 (P ugtP -ugtP-his; P xyl -ugtP-his) cultured in minimal sorbitol ±0.5% xylose, determined by measuring the distance between the mid-points of adjacent cell wall septa (n = 600, error = SD). Relative UgtP expression is demonstrated in Additional file 7: Figure S7
