Figure 6From: Carbon-dependent control of electron transfer and central carbon pathway genes for methane biosynthesis in the Archaean, Methanosarcina acetivorans strain C2ADifferential expression of genes induced in presence of acetate. Panel A) The indicated genes include ack (acetate kinase), pta (phosphoacetyl transferase), and a gene designated aceP encoding a putative acetate uptake system. The RT-PCR data were determined as described in Materials. Panel B) Transcript abundance for aceP from cells grown in the presence or absence of the methanogenic substrate, methanol with the indicated amounts of acetate present.Back to article page
