Figure 6.

Complementation of thermotolerance deficiency of the tps1Δ deletion mutant transformed with the SlTPS1 gene. Transformed strains were grown in liquid culture and assayed for induced thermotolerance (see Methods). Values shown for each construct are the averages of three independent transformants. WT, Wild-type cells transformed with the pRS6 vector alone; tps1Δ, mutant transformed with the pRS6 vector alone; tps1Δ+SlTPS1, mutant transformed with plasmid pRTS1; tps1Δ+ScTPS1, mutant transformed with plasmid pRTS2. Error bars denote ±sd.
