Fig. 5: Effect of the loss of functional OMP genes on adhesion and crawling.
a Adhesion of the wild-type strain (WT) and mutants (Δ lenA and Δ ligA) of L. interrogans serovar Manilae to rat kidney cells. Percentiles (boxes) and the minimum and maximum values (whiskers) of the speed data set are shown as described in the legend of Fig. 3. b Crawling ability was evaluated by normalizing crawling speeds (vCR) by the free-swimming speed (vSW). vCR and vSW were averaged values of the speeds measured for individual bacteria (Supplementary Fig. S1). The error bars are the propagated errors yielded by calculations using average speeds and their standard errors (Supplementary Table S2 and Supplementary Note 1). The number of samples measured is shown in Supplementary Table S2.
