Coomassie blue stain of exoproteins isolated from wild-type
(lane 1) and mutant strains, pho34B12 (lane 2), ORF1*
(lane 3), and ORF2* (lane 4). Extracellular proteins were isolated from
equal amounts of wild-type and mutant bacterial cells grown in
Luria–Bertani media (OD600 = 2.5–3.0), separated on
a 4–20% gradient polyacrylamide gel, and stained with
Coomassie brilliant blue R-250.
