A. Schematic of the BT1754/BT0366 chimera, where the periplasmic fructose-sensing domain of BT1754 was fused to the intracellular phosphotransfer and response regulator domains of BT0366.
B. Relative expression levels of genes from the BT1754-associated PUL (BT1757, BT1763) and the BT0366-associated PUL (BT0360, BT0365) from the chimera-expressing strain Bt-BT1754/BT0366 grown in MM supplemented with fructose, arabinose, or both, as assessed by qRT-PCR. Values displayed are mean fold changes in expression compared to Bt-BT1754/BT0366 grown in MM-arabinose. Error bars are +/− SE.
