(A) Map of the recombinant plasmids. Phhp1 and Phhp2 are the HHP-inducible promoters. The HMG-CoA reductase gene from P. furiosus was used as a reporter gene. (B) Biomasses of the recombinant strains at different pressures. A1/pLMOS011 and A1/pLMOS012 indicate the A1 strain containing the plasmids pLMOS011 and pLMOS012, respectively. The strains were cultured in TRM supplemented with 10 μM simvastatin at different pressures. The results are from three independent experiments, and the error bars represent the standard deviations. **, P < 0.01.
