Figure 3From: Involvement of EupR, a response regulator of the NarL/FixJ family, in the control of the uptake of the compatible solutes ectoines by the halophilic bacterium Chromohalobacter salexigensC. salexigens CHR95 shows a deregulated ectoine uptake. The wild-type strain and the mutant CHR95 (ΔacseupRmntR::Tn1732) were grown in glucose M63 minimal medium containing the indicated concentration of NaCl. The measurement of 40 [14C]-ectoine uptake rates (vi, expressed as nmol min-1 OD-1 units) was performed as described in Methods. Experiments were repeated twice, and the data correspond to mean values.Back to article page
