The locus of fliC is required for bacterial swimming motility. A Diameters of cell spread were measured 10 h post-inoculation of S. Typhimurium ST34 strain YZU0463 and its various mutants on swimming plates. B Diameters of cell spread were measured 10 h post-inoculation of S. Typhimurium ST19 strain SL1344 and its derived mutants on swimming plates. C, E qRT-PCR analysis of fliC in YZU0463, YZU2855 and fljB in YZU0463, YZU0463ΔfliC, YZU2855fliC→fljB. D, F qRT-PCR analysis of fliC in SL1344, SL1344ΔfljB and fljB in SL1344, SL1344ΔfliC, SL1344ΔfljBfliC→fljB. Each assay was performed in triplicate. Error bars represent ± SEM. ***P < 0.001.
