Summary of phenotypes of various <i>parS</i> mutants.

<p>The collection comprises 10 mutants with each individual <i>parS</i> modified (single) and 21 multiple mutants with between two and ten (<i>parS</i>_null) <i>parS</i> sequences modified (red dots). Mutants in columns highlighted in green demonstrate wild-type phenotypes (wt-like), those highlighted in yellow show phenotypes similar to those observed for the <i>parA</i>_null and <i>parB</i>_null mutants (<i>parAB</i>-like). The PAO1161 Rif^R<i>parS</i>mut29 mutant has ectopic <i>parS2</i> (green dot) replacing <i>parS7*</i> in <i>parS</i>_null mutant (highlighted in blue).
