Figure 1.
Promoter activity in S. coelicolor M145 (dark bars) and ΔphoP mutant (open bars) of phoRP, phoU and pstS using the xylE gene (encoding a catechol dioxygenase) as reporter, growing in R5 liquid medium with 40 µM phosphate. The activity in ΔphoP mutant is also represented in a larger scale (insets) for easier visualization. Vertical lines on top of each bar indicate SD values. No activity was detected with pstS promoter in the ΔphoP mutant.
