The reduced motility phenotypes of PP2258 null P. putida are partially rescued by the absence of PP4397. (A) Relative swimming motility of P. putida KT2701 wild type (WT) and the indicated null derivatives (Table S1) on 0.3% soft agar LB plates. Representative swim rings are shown above. (B) Relative swarming motility of the same strains on 0.5% agar plates. Representative swarm zones are shown to the right. Graphed values in all cases are averages with standard deviations calculated from three independent colonies and were normalized by setting the values of the wild type strain as 1. P-values shown for relevant comparisons were calculated with two-tailed student t-test (***P < 0.001; **P < 0.01).
