Change of CiaR-dependent promoter activities upon acetate supplementation in strains harboring varriants of ciaH. The strains were grown in BHI medium containing 50 mM of sodium acetate or BHI without the addition of acetate to an OD600 of 0.4 and ß-galactosidase was measured. Activities of two promoters, PhtrA and Pspr0931, were determined under both growth conditions and the relative expression rate was calculated by dividing the value of the acetate supplemented culture by the value of the untreated sample. All strains contained promoter fusions in the genome (bgaA::tetM-Pspr0931-lacZ or bgaA::tetM-PhtrA-lacZ). The following strains were used (from left to right): R6, RKL168 (ciaH306), RKL162 (ciaH202), RKL163 (ciaH305), RKL164 (ciaH208), RKL165 (ciaH408), RKL243 (ciaH232), RKL245 (ciaH556), RKL246 (ciaH1057), RKL244 (ciaHTpVT). The ciaH allele numbers are indicated. Values of at least two independent cultures of each promoter harboring strain are shown along with standard deviations.
