Transport of 5 mM [14C]maltose was measured with the indicated strains (grown on maltose) in the presence or absence of 50 mM maltotriose or 170 mM α-methylglucoside. Where errors are shown, results for maltotriose are averages ± standard deviations (n = 3 to 6) and results for α-methylglucoside are averages of duplicates ± ranges.
