Phenotypes of a mutant
the mutant tends to acquire suppressor mutations that result in improved growth [Pubmed|28189581]
a ''[gene|E22D0F0AC56DC95AFC02E7F55FCD5FAA44B6B490|ftsX]'' mutation is synthetically lethal with a ''[gene|321F248C22D7283C0F3323F1F4069E36F8D7FE6C|lytE]'' mutation (due to a lack of autolysin activity) [Pubmed|23869552,23855774]
shorter, fatter cells, this can be rescued by addition of Mg(2+) [Pubmed|23869552,23855774]
the mutant cells are thicker and shorter than wild type cells [pubmed|34846166]
reduced growth rate, especially at low Mg(2+) concentrations [Pubmed|23869552]
loss of genetic competence [pubmed|29553055]
defective in [category|SW.4.1.4|Swarming] motility (periodic cessation and reinitiation of [category|SW.4.1.4|Swarming] motility, terracing colonies) [pubmed|35638827]
