The effect of K524 and K549 on AcsA enzyme activity and growth. (A) Activities of AcsA and its mutants (AcsAK524Q, AcsAK524A, and AcsAK524R). (B) The growth curves of the S. enterica Δacs strains complemented with BsacsA WT or mutant genes in acetate minimal medium (10 mM acetate as sole carbon source). Expression of acs gene was induced by addition of L-(+)-arabinose (250 µM). Cell density measurements at 600 nm were acquired. Graphed points represent the mean of three independent measurements.
