TABLE 4.

Reduction in the cellular K+ content by overexpression of ycgO in the parent and its restoration by overexpression of kup

Strain Relevant genotype Relative K+ content after growth in mediuma:
K1 K40 K115
JD728 kdp+ kup trkA attλ::(Ptrc99A bla) 1 (0.18) 1 (0.12) 1 (0.01)
JD729 kdp+ kup trkA attλ::(PtrcycgO bla) 0.73 (0.14) 0.62 (0.04) 0.57 (0.7)
JD732/pHYD3025b kdp+ kup trkA attλ::(PtrcycgO bla::Kan) 0.9 (0.11) 0.8 (0.16) 0.71 (0.08)
JD732/pHYD1852c kdp+ kup trkA attλ::(PtrcycgO bla::Kan) 1.14 (0.02) 1.33 (0.04) 1.07 (0.04)
a

The K+ content obtained for strain JD728 bearing integration of the plasmid pTrc99A in attB [attλ::(Ptrc99A bla)] in K1, K40, and K115 media was set at 100% = 1, and the relative K+ contents for the other strains are indicated. K+ content was determined following 2 h of growth of the indicated strains in K1, K40, and K115 media containing 0.1 mM IPTG. The relative standard deviations (SD) for the measurements are indicated in parentheses. The K+ contents (mean ± SD) for JD728 following its growth in K1, K40, and K115 media were 162 ± 29.4, 147 ± 17.3, and 229 ± 3.4 nmol K+/A600, respectively.
