Growth of S. pneumoniae (TIGR4) on α-glucans. A) Growth of wild-type on various α-glucans. B) Growth of wild-type on glycogen. C) Growth of the Δmalx strain. D) Growth of the Δspua strain. In all panels, the symbol type represents different growth substrates: closed squares - glucose; open squares - glycogen; closed circles - no substrate; open circles - maltotriose; closed triangles - glycogen with added recombinant SpuA; open triangles - pullulan; open diamonds - amylopectin. In panels C and D the glycogen and no substrate curves overlap. Error bars represent the standard deviations measurements made from growth cultures performed in triplicate. Where error bars are not visible the error was within the size of the symbol.
