Growth-phase and CtrA dependence of β-galactosidase activities of
orfg2′∷′lacZ plasmid-borne gene fusions.
(A) Maps of the orfg2′∷′lacZ fusions
used to investigate GTA gene expression. (B)
β-galactosidase specific activities. The cell samples indicated left
of the graph designate: Y262, plasmid-free Y262; Y262(pYNP), Y262
containing plasmid pYNP; Y262(pYP), Y262 containing plasmid pYP;
YCKF(pYP), YCKF containing plasmid pYP; and YCKF(pCTRA, pYP), YCKF
containing plasmids pCTRA and pYP. Cells were harvested over the growth
phase at a, mid-log phase; b, late-log phase; c, early stationary
phase; and d, late stationary phase.
