B. The KAP114 knockout strain was transformed with vector control (lane 2) and a plasmid containing wild type KAP114, KAP114 (Δ347-371), or KAP114 (Δ899-956) (lanes 3-5). Wild type and KAP114 knockout strains containing plasmids were serially diluted and grown in minimal medium plates supplemented with 1.5 M NaCl. Growth temperatures are indicated.
