Deletion of KP1_RS12820 affects growth in psicose. (A and B) Each well contained either glucose at a final concentration of 5 mg/ml (A) or psicose at a final concentration of 5 mg/ml (B). (C) WT and empty vector, ΔKP1_RS12820 clone 5 (#5) and empty vector, or the complemented mutant were also tested in psicose (1.25 mg/ml). Diluted inoculum was added to each well 1:1. Growth was recorded using optical density at 600 nm over 18 h. Data points shown are the means for three technical replicates and are representative of two or more experiments. Statistics were calculated using one-way ANOVA for multiple comparisons. Values that are significantly different are indicated by brackets and asterisks as follows: *, P = 0.0335; **, P = 0.0079.
