Fig 4. Effects of adaptive mutations on growth profiles and transcriptional activity.
Transcriptional activity (defined as GFP/OD) of the pntAB, acs, and epd promoters are scaled by 10−4 and the epd-CBS hybrid promoter by 10−5 to fit into these plots. Transcriptional activity at the exponential phase (defined as OD = 0.1–0.3) is highlighted by a grey window in each panel. Results from one of the three independent experiments are shown as the representative.
