Growth (A) and rates of [¹⁴C]maltose uptake (B) of C. glutamicum WT (filled squares), C. glutamicum Δmus (open circles), C. glutamicum Δmus(pXMJ19) (filled triangles), and C. glutamicum Δmus(pXMJ19-musKEFG) (open diamonds) in CgC minimal medium initially containing 2% (wt/vol) maltose. One representative growth curve of at least three independent cultivations is shown in panel A; the results of each of the cultivations were comparable. For uptake measurements, the strains were cultivated in CgC minimal medium with 2% (wt/vol) glucose. The data represent mean values and standard deviations of three independent measurements from three independent cultivations.
