Fig 2.

Aerobic growth phenotype of a EutD mutant. (A) Growth of cells inoculated directly from LB preculture into ethanolamine minimal medium; (B) growth of cells grown in LB and washed in minimal medium before inoculation of ethanolamine minimal medium. Strains tested are the deletion mutant TT24804 (eutD372) (■), phenotypically Eut⁺ wild-type TR10000 cells (LT2) (◆), and a phenotypically Eut⁻ deletion mutant lacking ethanolamine-ammonia lyase, TT24806 eutB374 (▲). The error bars represent standard deviations.
