Bacterial growth assessment of CHA strain and mutants

	CHA	CHA∆kynU	CHA∆kynA
Qx expo (h−1)	1.29	1.22	1.34
Generation time (min)	32	34	31

Qx expo refers to the growth rate during exponential growth (h⁻¹). Generation time refers to the doubling time of bacterial population during the exponential phase of growth (minutes). One experiment representative of three
