(A) Targeted inactivation of covS in strain M4-SC-1 produced a large colony phenotype analogous to that seen in strain M4-LC-1 (see Fig 1A for comparison). (B) Select gene transcript levels in the naturally occurring (M4-LC-1) and isogenic (M4-SC-1ΔcovS) CovS mutants compared to the wild type CovS intact strain M4-SC-1. Data graphed are mean ± standard deviation of two biological replicates, with two technical replicates, done on two separate days (n = 8). (C-E) Transmission electronic microscopy at 40,000x magnification of indicated strains showing that targeted inactivation of covS reproduces the rough surface phenotype (indicated by arrows) seen in strain M4-LC-1.</p
