a

Measured after incubation for 10 days at 80°C. The experiments were repeated three times, and the results varied by less than 10%. Values shown are averages for replicate samples which varied by less than 5%. 

b

Mutants were not tested at 200 mM KCl, as they failed to grow under this condition.
