Inactivation of Rv2170 in the Δicl1 mutant increases generation of CO2 from stearic acid. Metabolic activity of the bacterial cell was determined using conversion of stearic acid to CO2. Mtb strains were grown in minimal medium containing [1-14C] stearic acid and cold 0.05 mM stearic acid: Δicl1 strain, Δicl1:Tn::Rv2170 and complementation strain. CO2 released from culture was trapped with NaOH and the labeled CO2 was analyzed with a scintillation counter. The CPM data are shown at different time points. Data are representative from biological triplicates.
