FIG. 3.

Genetic organization of plasmids expressing atpAGD and stationary yield as a function of β-galactosidase activity for MBP71 derivatives with these plasmids. (A) Genetic organization of the plasmids expressing atpAGD. CP, synthetic constitutive promoters. The lacLM gene encodes β-galactosidase. (B) Stationary yields as a function of β-galactosidase activity for MBP71 derivatives with the plasmids described above. Strains were grown overnight to the stationary phase in LM17 containing thymidine and erythromycin (erythromycin was not added for MBP71). The OD₆₀₀ was measured, and the cultures were inoculated into fresh medium to determine the β-galactosidase activity. For each data point the strain designation is shown.
