aBasal (in the absence of CLI) levels of NADase activities. Bacteria were cultured without CLI. U: Units, one unit of NADase activity is defined as the amount (μg) of β-NAD cleaved per hour per μl culture supernatant, as described previously [10]. bWhether the extracellular NADase activity of each strain was increased with CLI treatment (+) or not (−) was determined based on the experimental results shown in Figure 1 to 6. CLI-dependent NADase activity induction was expressed as values of maximum fold-induction by CLI in parentheses. N/A, not applicant.
