Phenotype comparison of wild-type C. acetobutylicum and Δpks. a Sporulation assay results for liquid cultures of wild type, Δpks, and Δpks supplemented with clostrienose (3). Values represent the number of heat-resistant colony forming units per mL following incubation in liquid CBM-S medium for 5 days. Error bars represent the standard deviation of biological triplicate cultures. Experiments were repeated at least three times independently. b Granulose accumulation assay results for wild type, Δpks, and Δpks supplemented with clostrienose (3). Patches containing high levels of granulose are expected to stain dark brown/purple. c Dissecting microscope images of individual wild-type and Δpks colonies. Black scale bar shows 1 mm in length
