Characterization of the CcpA regulation in vivo for trehalose-inducible system

(A) The fluorescence intensity and OD 600 were measured for the strain carrying pBLTE plasmid under ten conditions (control: 1.5% trehalose, 1.5% trehalose + 1.5% glucose, 1.5% trehalose + 1.5% fructose, 1.5% trehalose + 1.5% mannitol, 1.5% trehalose + 1.5% glycerol, 1.5% trehalose + 1.5% glycerol, 1.5% trehalose + 1.5% saccharose, 1.5% trehalose + 1.5% mannose, 1.5% trehalose + 1.5% sorbitol, 1.5% trehalose + 1.5% arabinose, 1.5% trehalose + 1.5% xylose). Data are shown as means ± SD, n = 3.

(B) Quantify the CCR/CCA effect with the formula I=(FI1-FI2)/FI1×100% due to different carbohydrates (FI1 represents the fluorescence intensity when only trehalose is added. FI2 represents the fluorescence intensity when trehalose is added and another carbohydrate is also added. Glucose, fructose, mannitol, glycerol, sucrose, mannose, sorbitol, arabinose, and xylose added at a concentration of 1.5% while adding 1.5% trehalose. Data are shown as means ± SD, n = 3.

(C) The fluorescence intensity and OD 600 were measured for trehalose promoter in both the strain BlspTE (control 1: 1.5% trehalose, 1.5% trehalose + 1.5% glucose, 1.5% trehalose + 1.5% glycerol) and CcpA-deletion strain BlspTE1 (control 2: 1.5% trehalose, 1.5% trehalose + 1.5% glucose, 1.5% trehalose + 1.5% glycerol). Data are shown as means ± SD, n = 3.

(D) The fluorescence intensity and OD 600 were measured for trehalose promoter whose CRE site was replaced by CRETre site in both the strain BlspT1E (control 3: 1.5% trehalose, 1.5% trehalose + 1.5% glucose, 1.5% trehalose + 1.5% glycerol) and CcpA-deletion strain BlspT1E1 (control 4: 1.5% trehalose, 1.5% trehalose + 1.5% glucose, 1.5% trehalose + 1.5% glycerol). Data are shown as means ± SD, n = 3.

(E) The fluorescence intensity and OD 600 were measured for trehalose promoter whose CRE site was replaced by CRETre(R) site in both the strain BlspT2E (control 5: 1.5% trehalose, 1.5% trehalose + 1.5% glucose, 1.5% trehalose + 1.5% glycerol) and CcpA-deletion strain BlspT2E1 (control 6: 1.5% trehalose, 1.5% trehalose + 1.5% glucose, 1.5% trehalose + 1.5% glycerol). Data are shown as means ± SD, n = 3.

(F) Compared three CRE sites by using formula I=(FI1-FI2)/FI1×100% while extra adding glucose or glycerol. Data are shown as means ± SD, n = 3.
