Analysis of the effect of gene disruption on cell growth. The various T. kodakarensis wild type (KU216) and mutant strains were grown in ASW-YT medium. Cultures were carried out at the optimal growth temperature of 85 °C, or at 75 °C and 90 °C, and cell growth was monitored by counting the number of cells with Thoma’s cell counter during the course of the culture. The mean values obtained from three independent experiments and the standard deviations are shown with bars. Significance values of *p < 0.05 relative to KU216. square: KU216, diamond: Δcbf5, triangle: Δpus10, circle: Δnop10, and cross: Δgar1.
