YvcK regulates cell length. (A) Growth curve of WT strain (168) and ΔyvcK mutant strain (SG471) on minimal medium with sorbitol as sole carbon source. (B) Histogram of cell lengths for 168 and SG471 strains collected at OD600 = 0.4: WT (n = 306), ΔyvcK strain (n = 335). (C) Histogram of cell lengths for WT strain (168), ΔyvcK strain (SG471) and ΔyvcK strain with P xyl yvcK at amyE locus (SG517). These three strains were grown in LB medium in the presence of xylose and collected at OD600 = 0.4: WT (n = 319), ΔyvcK strain (n = 256), ΔyvcK, P xyl yvcK strain (n = 301). (D) Analysis of YvcK production from crude extracts of WT strain (168), ΔyvcK strain (SG471) and ΔyvcK strain with P xyl yvcK at amyE locus (SG517) by Western blotting. Bacteria were collected at OD600 = 0.4, lyzed and 10 μl of cell extracts were run on a 12.5% SDS-PAGE and transferred to nitrocellulose membrane by electroblotting. The blot membrane was exposed for each time set in interval time and accumulates images. Full-length blot is presented in Supplementary data.
