ZapE is required for proper cell division under high-temperature and oxygen-limited conditions and biofilm formation. (IMAGE)
Caption
(A) Morphology of PAO1, ΔPA4438, its zapE complementation strain ΔPA4438/pzapE and Escherichia coli zapE complementation strain ΔPA4438/peczapE cultivated in 37°C aerobic, 42°C aerobic, and 37°C anaerobic environment. The white arrows point to the elongated cells. Scale bar = 5 μm. (B) Biofilm morphology of PAO1, ΔzapE, ΔzapE/pzapE, and ΔzapE/peczapE under 37°C aerobic condition. Biofilms were stained by SYTORED17. Scale bar = 20 μm. Photo credit: Xi Liu, Yingdan Zhang and Liang Yang.
