Phenotypes of a mutant

  • no swarming motility on B medium. PubMed
  • the mutation suppresses the mucoid phenotype of motA or motB mutants due to loss of DegU phosphorylation and concomitant reduced expression of the capB-capC-capA-capE operon PubMed
  • inactivation of codY suppresses the requirement of a relA sasA sasB triple mutant for branched chain amino acids, methionine and threonine PubMed
