Induction of psp and the ubiquinone pool in the electron transport mutants. Comparison of (Top) the level of psp induction and (Bottom) the amount of oxidised (UQ8; light grey) and reduced (UQ8-H2; dark grey) ubiquinone as well as the redox state (% UQ8-H2) in wild-type EC10 and the electron transport mutants EC11, EC12 and EC13 under aerobic and microaerobic growth. Values for the standard deviation are included. Note that growth rates of EC11, EC12 and EC13 were similar to the parental strain EC10. Thus, the authors infer that there are no gross pleiotropic defects in these strains
