Stimulus-dependent yjiY expression under nutrient-limiting conditions. E. coli MG1655 mutant ΔyhjX harboring pBBR yjiY-lux was cultivated in 0.1x LB medium to establish low nutrient conditions. After 1 h (time point 0), the indicated concentration of pyruvate (A), or L-serine (B), or the equivalent volume of water was added. Experiments were performed at least three times (standard deviation <10%), and results of a representative experiment are shown.
