Phenotypes of a mutant

  • cells are bent and distended due to the lack of glucolipids PubMed
  • the inactivation of pgcA suppresses the poor and filamentous growth of the whiA zapA double mutant PubMed
  • inactivation of pgcA reduces sporulation efficiency to 0.1% that of wild type cells; smaller and wider mother cells with small forespores PubMed
