TABLE 3.

β-Galactosidase levels from lacZ fusions in wild-type and mutant strains grown in LB medium

lacZ fusiona Relevant genotype β-Galactosidase sp act (U/mg of protein) in cells grown in LB mediumb:
Glucose repression ratioc
Without glucose With glucose
TMS922 Wild type 44.0 36.6 1.2
ptsH1 33.6 33.5 1.0
HUT924 Wild type 21.3 4.5 4.7
ptsH1 20.6 20.0 1.0
BGL2 Wild type 14.2 2.2 6.5
ptsH1 15.2 10.5 1.4
a

All strains were derivatives of strain 168 and had the indicated lacZ fusion integrated as a single copy at the amyE locus. 

b

Data are the averages of three or more determinations, which did not vary by more than 25%. Cultures were grown in LB medium with or without glucose. 

c

The glucose repression ratio was calculated by dividing the enzyme activity found in the culture grown without glucose by the enzyme activity found in the culture grown with glucose.
