Table 1.

Growth in mineral media supplemented with cholesterol (2.5 mM) as sole carbon and energy source of wild-type strain RHA1, mutant strain RHA1Δcyp125, complemented mutant strain RHA1Δcyp125 (RHA1Δcyp125+pTip-QC1cyp125), and RHA1Δcyp125 mutant strain harbouring null vector (RHA1Δcyp125+pTip-QC1) after 10 days of growth.

Strain Protein content (mg l−1) Residual cholesterol (%)
RHA1 49 ± 6 56 ± 5
RHA1Δcyp125 5 ± 3 112 ± 4
RHA1Δcyp125+pTip-QC1cyp125 57 ± 4 55 ± 4
RHA1Δcyp125+pTip-QC1 3 ± 3 116 ± 16
Control (medium + cholesterol) 0 100 ± 13

Non-inoculated mineral medium with cholesterol was included as a negative control. Values represent mean ± standard deviation (n = 3).
