Increased matrix gene expression of WS morphotypes. a Representative confocal microscopy images of strains with PtapA-yfp reporter (false colored green) indicating matrix gene expression. Wild type, Δhag and ΔsinR were compared to representative WS morphotypes of each wild type and Δhag background harboring the mutations V26G (WTWS9 and ΔhagWS9) and L99S (WTWS1 and ΔhagWS2). The scale bar represents 10 μm. b OD normalized expression of PtapA-yfp of strains from (a) over time. Error bars represent the standard deviation.
