Plasmid | Characteristics | Relative proportiona
|
|
---|---|---|---|
Hydroxyectoine | Ectoine | ||
pJP-0 | PpHE1, no insert | 37.2 | 62.8 |
pJP-1 | PpHE1, thpD | 80.4 | 19.6 |
pJP-2 | PpHE1, Pect, thpD | 100 | ND |
pJP-2R | PectA, thpD | 100 | ND |
Values are given as percentages of the total amount of ectoine and hydroxyectoine and are the means of results for at least three independent cultures. ND, not detectable.
