Expression of ccpA-lacZ and motPS-lacZ fusions in wild-type and ΔmotAB strains. (A) Schematic diagram of the integrated pMutin plasmid locus in the ccpA-motPS region. Each construct was inserted into the pMutin plasmid upstream of the stem-loop structure at the intergenic region of ccpA and motP. (B) Growth curves of strains. BR151MA (wild type), ○; W-ccpA-lacZ, Inline graphic; W-motPS-lacZ, ▵; W-motPS-lacZ-M, Inline graphic. Growth in 2× TY medium at 37°C was monitored by A600. (C) β-Galactosidase activity of the ccpA-lacZ and motPS-lacZ fusion constructs (indicated at the top of each panel) at different times during growth. Activity is expressed as nanomoles o-nitrophenyl-β-d-galactopyranoside hydrolyzed per minute per milligram protein. The strains used for the experiment are indicated below the panel. The error bars indicate the standard deviations of the values.
