Figure 3

Toxicity assays of YafQ_pa4366 and YafQ_pa2333 identified in L. paracasei. Growth curves (left) and spot assay (right) of recombinant E. coli C41(DE3) pLysS strain harbouring an inducible YafQ_pa4366 gene (a), inducible YafQ_pa4366 and DinJ_pa4366 genes (b), and an inducible YafQ_pa2333 gene (c). In all cases, closed circles represent growth in the absence of IPTG and open circles represent growth in the presence of IPTG. Each data point represents the mean value ± SEM of three independent experiments. See Methods for experimental details.
