Exposure to Glycolytic Carbon Sources Reveals a Novel Layer of Regulation for the MalT Regulon

Figure 3

Effect of nonglycolytic carbon sources and sugar metabolism on viability. (a) Growth curves of ompR malT con mutants (strain AJW3098) grown in LB at 37°C without additional carbon source (white diamonds) or supplemented with serine (white circles) or succinate (black squares). Values represent the mean of triplicates. Error bars are only shown when greater than the symbol. (b) Growth curves of ompR malT con, (strain AJW3098, diamonds), ompR malT consrlA (strain AJW3926, squares) and ompR malT consrlD (strain AJW3927, triangles) mutants grown in LB at 37°C. Black symbols, cells grown in LB without sorbitol; white symbols, cells grown in LB supplemented with 22 mM sorbitol. Values represent the mean of triplicates. Error bars are only shown when greater than the symbol.
