Arylsulfatase activity due to expression of the flaB::astA transcriptional fusion in flgS5W6 mutants containing wild-type flgR or flgR5W6rev10.a
| Strainb | flgS allelec | flgR alleled | Arylsulfatase Units |
|---|---|---|---|
| DRH665 | Wt | Wt | 221.37 ± 11.67 |
| DRH939 | Deletion | Wt | 0.44 ± 0.05 |
| DRH2737 | flgS5W6 | Wt | < 0.08 ± 0.03e |
| DRH2874 | flgS5W6 | flgR5W6rev10 | 37.53 ± 4.42 |
Results are from a typical assay with each sample performed in triplicate. Values are reported as arylsulfatase units. One unit equals the amount of arylsulfatase required to generate 1 nmol of nitrophenol per hour per OD600 1.0.
Strains used include DRH665 (81–176 SmR ΔastA flaB::astA), DRH939 (81–176 SmR ΔastA ΔflgS flaB::astA), DRH2737 (81–176 SmR ΔastA flgS5W6 flaB::astA), and DRH2874 (81–176 SmR ΔastA flgS5W6 flgR5W6rev10).
The type of flgS allele contained in each strain. flgS has been removed in DRH939.
The type of flgR allele contained in each strain. DRH2874 has had flgR replaced with the flgR allele of DRH665 5W6 rev10.
At least one of the three tested samples had a value below the limit of detection of the assay which was 0.06 arylsulfatase units.
