FIG 1.

(A) Growth of wild-type (closed circle), fakA mutant (open circle), and fakA complement (triangle) strains in TSB plus 14 mM glucose at a 1:10 medium-to-flask ratio. (B) pH of culture from panel A. Data are the averages (n = 3) with standard deviations from representative experiments. All points have error bars, which may be smaller than symbols. (C) Extracellular acetate (closed symbols) and glucose (open symbols) were determined for wild-type (circles), fakA mutant (squares), and complement strains (triangles). Data are averages (n = 6) with standard deviations. An asterisk denotes significance (t test, P < 0.05) compared to the wild type.
