ppoR promoter activities in wild type and various mutant strains of P. putida WCS358 and RD8MR3. Bacterial cultures were started with an initial inoculum of 5 × 106 CFU per ml in 20 ml of minimal medium (M9-Cas) and β-galactosidase activities were measured at different stages of growth. The growth curves of different mutants and the wild type strain are indicated in each graph. All experiments were performed in triplicate and the mean values of each time point along with standard deviations are shown in each graph. All the graphs were plotted using SigmaPlot version10. (a) ppoR promoter activity in P. putida WCS358 wild type, gacA (IBE1), psrA (M17), rpoS (MKO1) and ppoR (WCS358PPOR) using plasmid pPpoR2. (b) ppoR promoter activity in P. putida RD8MR3 wild type and ppoR (RD8MR3PPOR) mutants using plasmid pPpoR1. β-gal, β-galactosidase; OD600, optical density at 600 nm; MU, Miller Units.
