Mtb senX3 and regX3 are required for optimal growth during P i depletion, but not in P i -replete broth. The wild-type, senX3::Tn, senX3::Tn Comp, regX3::Tn, and regX3::Tn Comp strains were each cultured in reconstituted 7H9 broth containing 25 mM Pi (A) and Pi-depleted broth (50 μM Pi) (B). Each experiment was repeated twice with similar values of optimal density (O.D.600nm).
