The BACTH system was used to detect the protein–protein interactions between the Psp and ArcB proteins. Negative control: BTH101/pKT25+pUT18C vectors alone (74 ± 4 MU); positive control: BTH101/pKT25-zip+pUT18C-zip (1017 ± 34 MU); interaction estimates including SD were as follows: (+/−) weak interaction (235–350 MU); (+) interaction (350–500 MU); (++) strong interaction (>700 MU); (−) no interaction (≤ 234 MU); ND, not determined. For construction of fusion proteins, growth conditions and mean values with SD, see Experimental procedures.
