Loss of Pi transporters diminishes the ability of S. aureus to accumulate Pi. (A to C) The wild type and ΔpstSCAB ΔpitA, ΔpstSCAB ΔnptA, and ΔnptA ΔpitA mutants were grown in PFM9 in various concentrations of Pi adjusted to pH 7.4 (A), 6.4 (B), or 8.4 (C), and intracellular Pi was measured. *, P < 0.05 compared to the value for the wild type via two-way ANOVA with Dunnett's posttest. n = 5; error bars indicate SEMs. N.D., not determined.
