TABLE 3.
Effect of FIS and rpoCΔ215–220 on activity of rrnB P1 (−154 to +50)
| RNAP allele | fis allele | Growth rate (doublings/h) | Activity (Miller units)a | Relative activityb |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| rpoCΔ215–220 | Wild type | 1.14 | 8,927 | 1.00 |
| fis::kan | 1.06 | 3,736 | 0.42 | |
| Wild type | Wild type | 1.29 | 10,822 | 1.00 |
| fis::kan | 1.25 | 11,424 | 1.06 |
Results are means from two experiments; the variation was less than 10%.
Fraction of activity in the background containing the wild-type fis gene for each RNAP allele.
