FIG. 1.
Growth of P. aeruginosa with GlcNAc as the primary carbon and energy source. (A) Growth of P. aeruginosa in MOPS defined medium (MOPS-V) containing 20 mM GlcNAc, 20 mM succinate, or no additional carbon. Bacteria were grown with shaking (250 rpm) at 37°C and sampled during exponential growth (OD600 of 0.45 to 0.50) for Affymetrix GeneChip analysis. Representative growth curves are shown. (B) P. aeruginosa growth and GlcNAc consumption in MOPS-V containing 5 mM GlcNAc.
