FIG 1.

Bacterial growth and degradation of GGE. (A) Pathway for the transformation of GGE to HPV in SYK-6 and SG61-1L. (B) Metabolite formation and disappearance over the course of the GGE growth cell experiment in SG61-1L (red) and SYK-6 (blue). Each graph depicts a different metabolite (labeled in the upper right corner). (C) GGE degradation (left y axis) and bacterial growth (right y axis) over time for SYK-6 (left) and SG61-1L (right) during growth cell experiments with GGE as the sole carbon source compared with control experiments with no carbon source. The arrows indicate the time at which cultures of SG61-1L were pelleted and resuspended in fresh MM supplemented with GGE as described in Materials and Methods.
