*: coupled assay together with AlsS.
Cells were cultured in M9* pH 7.4, 20 g L-1 glucose and. 5 g L-1 yeast extract shake flasks at 30° Cells were induced for 4 h either with 0.05% DCPK (pCOM10) or with 1 mM IPTG (pPDPK, pPAPC-Km) in the early exponential phase. Errors indicate standard deviations (n = 2 - 3).
