TABLE 2.
Lysates of strains after microaerobic growth at 37°C were analyzed by a coupled enzyme assay. The activity of gluconate dehydrogenase is reported in nanomoles of DCIP reduced per minute per milligram of protein in the lysates. Data represent the averages and SD for three assays, with each strain analyzed in triplicate.
Statistically significantly different from that of the WT strain (P < 0.05).
