Figure 5From: Adsorption of β-galactosidase of Alicyclobacillus acidocaldarius on wild type and mutants spores of Bacillus subtilisTotal Units (grey bars), Spore-Bound Units (black bars) and Unbound Units (white bars) of β-galactosidase obtained using wild type (PY79) or isogenic mutant spores. Panel A includes mutants lacking a single outer coat component; panel B includes mutants totally or partially lacking the crust; and panel C includes mutants with a severely defective (cotH and gerE) or totally absent (cotE) outer coat.Back to article page
