Analysis of basic information of three Acetobacteraceae strains. (a) Photograph of the cellulose films produced by the three test strains after 4 d of incubation in 50 mL centrifuge tubes. (b) Dry weights of the cellulose films formed by the three test strains after 4 d of incubation in 12-well plates. The division times (c) and growth curves (d) of the three test strains during static incubation. The growth curves (e) and division times (f) of the three test strains during shaking incubation. The error bars represent the means ± SDs; n = 3, 4; ns = not significant; ** P ≤ 0.01; *** P ≤ 0.001; **** P ≤
0.0001 (Student’s t test). -
Plasmid features analysis. (a) Minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of seven antibiotics against the three test strains. R indicates that the test strains can grow in HS broth containing
1200 ng/mL antibiotics; GM, KM, SC, CL, TC, AM, and CM represent gentamicin, kanamycin, spectinomycin, chloramphenicol, tetracycline, ampicillin, and carbenicillin, respectively. Plasmid transformation efficiency (b) and frequency (c) of the three test strains. (d) Enumeration of surviving three test strains on HS agar plates after electroporation. The error bars represent the means ± SDs; n = 3; ns = not significant; *P ≤ 0.05; ** P ≤ 0.01; **** P ≤0.0001 (Student’s t test). -
Plasmid replication and stability analysis. Electropherograms of replicable (a) and stabilizable (b) origins of plasmid replication within the three test strains. M refers to the DNA marker, and R1, V01, C01, P10, and 15a represent the plasmid replication origins pBBR1, pMV01, pSC101, pCrep101, and p15a, respectively. (c) Merged image of the strains in panel a after three months of static culture at room temperature; scale bar, 5 µm.
