JtRdhA mediated E. coli W catabolism of brominated hydroxyphenylacetic acid. Time course for E. coli W-pBbE1k-JtRdhA (∎) and E. coli W-pBbE1k-JtRdhAMBP (●) growth on minimal medium with 10 mM 3-bromo-4-hydroxyphenylacetic acid (3Br-4-OHPA) added. E. coli W-pBbE1k-RFP, containing the red fluorescent protein (RFP) was used as a negative control (▲) for cell growth and hydroxyphenyl acetic acid was used in place of 3Br-4-OHPA as a positive control (▼). Error bars represent SEM, n = 2.
