The five C-terminal amino acids of SSB are required for growth suppression.
Serial dilutions of suspended colonies were spotted on MM and incubated as described in the Figure 1 legend. Wild-type, JJC2069; argE::ssbΔC5, JJC6162; ΔholD, JJC2067 cured of pAM-holD; ΔholD argE::ssbΔC5, JJC6078 cured of pAM-holD; ΔholD argE::ssb, JJC6076 cured of pAM-holD.
