a

In the absence of RidA, if the listed metabolite is added to minimal glucose growth medium, the relevant generator enzyme uses it to produce 2AA and prevent cell growth.

b

TdcB is only produced anaerobically in response to threonine and does not contribute to 2AA stress under standard aerobic growth conditions.

c

2AA-dependent damage of the relevant enzyme is responsible for the listed growth phenotype in aS. enterica ridA mutant. Abbreviations: Gly:glycine, Ile:isoleucine, Ala:alanine
