Biosynthesis of Osmoregulated Periplasmic Glucans in Escherichia coli: The Phosphoethanolamine Transferase Is Encoded by opgE

Figure 5

Motility and mucoidy analysis of opg mutants of E. coli. (a) Motility: strains (107 CFU) were spotted onto swarming medium containing 0,3% agar. The plates were incubated at 37°C and motility was examined after 24 h of incubation. (b) Mucoidy: The same strains were streaked on SOBG medium. The plates were incubated at 30°C and mucoidy was examined after 30 h of incubation.
