^aGrown on VMM media with 15 mM of a given carbon source. Abbreviations: Glc, glucose; Suc, succinate; Gly, glycerol; Rha, rhamnose; Ery, erythritol; Fuc, fucose; Ace, acetate; Ara, arabinose; Glu, glutamate; Rib, ribose; Xyl, xylose; Lyx, lyxose. The symbol indicates the growth phenotype as follows: +, growth same as that of the wild type; ±, slow growth compared to that of the wild type; −, no visible growth.
