Phenotypic stress assays comparing the different ecfG mutants with the wild type TFA. Stress sensitivity was measured spotting serial dilutions of the different strains on agar MML rich medium supplemented with CuSO4 3.5 mM or NaCl 600 mM (a). Sensitivity to desiccation was measured by spotting serial dilutions on filters that were left to air dry for 5 h (b). The capability to recover from oxidative shock was measured comparing cultures with the untreated controls 5 h after the addition of H2O2 10 mM (c).
