Strains were grown aerobically in a complex medium (LB) in the absence or presence of l-arabinose (Ara). Growth and luciferase activity were monitored continuously. The maximal luciferase activity normalized to an optical density of 1 (RLU/OD600) was used as a measure of the degree of induction of yjiY. Data were obtained from at least three independent experiments, and average values (the standard deviation was less than 15%) were used for calculations. ND, not determined.
