Figure 5. Relative expression of genes coding for enzymes of acetate metabolism in E. coli MG1655 (4a) and mutant strain TBE029 (4b).
The transcription pattern was analyzed in cells from glucose-limited continuous cultures and normalized to the reference genes recA, rpoD and ybhC and to the expression under anaerobic conditions. aceA: isocitrate lyase, ackA: acetate kinase, poxB: pyruvate oxidase, acs: acetyl-CoA synthetase.
