Extended Data Fig. 3: The striped phenotype is dependent on monocin production.

From: Specialized Listeria monocytogenes produce tailocins to provide a population-level competitive growth advantage

Extended Data Fig. 3

Representative TEM micrographs of stained thin plastic sections of (a) L. monocytogenes 10403 S bacteria ectopically expressing MpaR from the pPL2 plasmid using the tet promoter grown with MMC, (b) L. monocytogenes 10403 S bacteria deleted of the monocin structural and lysis genes (Δmon-struc-lys) ectopically expressing MpaR from the pPL2 plasmid using the tet promoter grown with MMC, and (c) Phage−cured L. monocytogenes 10403 S bacteria ectopically expressing MpaR from the pPL2 plasmid using the tet promoter grown with MMC.
