The HK CbrA is necessary for glucose utilization. (a) Growth kinetics of the reference strain AEalgD (algD::Km) (closed symbols) and its derivative mutant AH1 (cbrA::miniTn5) (open symbols) in liquid Burk’s minimal medium amended with 50 mM glucose (dashed lines) or 2% sucrose (solid lines). (b) Growth kinetics (circles), and acetate (triangles) or glucose (diamonds) consumption during the culture of the reference strain AEalgD (algD::Km) (closed symbols) or its derivative mutant AH1 (cbrA::miniTn5) (open symbols) in Burk’s minimal medium supplemented with both 30 mM glucose and 30 mM acetate as carbon sources. (c) gluP mRNA levels determined by qRT-PCR analysis in strain AEalgD (white columns) and in mutant AH1 (grey columns) in the diauxic growth of panel (b). Total RNA was extracted from cells at the indicated times. The bars of standard deviation from three independent experiments are shown. Significant differences were analysed by t-test. Statistical significance is indicated (***p < 0.001).
