Molecular organization and analysis of predicted prophages P1 (a), P6 (b), deleted genes and growth characteristics of selected cultures (c, d). a, b Black: hypothetical genes or genes with known function; red: putative prophage genes; green: mobile genetic elements; blue: deleted genes. c Growth characteristics of ∆intA2 under aerobic and anaerobic conditions compared to WT. Growth of other prophage deletants (not shown) was virtually identical. d Growth profiles of mitomycin C-treated (MMC) cultures of a selected single prophage deletion mutant and the WT. Cultures were incubated for 8 h at MMC concentrations of 0.2 or 0.3 µg/ml, washed twice, and adjusted to the initial OD. Growth experiments were performed at 28 °C under aerobic conditions. Each strain was analyzed in triplicates, the curve represents the calculated average (standard deviations were < 5%)
