  1. aCombined data from two independent experiments are shown. Values are mean ± SE (n = 11 for USDA 110T, n = 18 for USDA 122, and n = 12 for the others). Asterisks (*) indicate significant differences from the wild-type strain (USDA 110T or USDA 122) by Dunnett’s multiple comparison test (*P < 0.05, **P < 0.01)
