Growth, glucose consumption and acetate build-up. Growth, glucose consumption and acetate formation in strain Newman (wt) and its isogenic ΔccpA mutant (ΔccpA). Cells were grown to an OD₆₀₀ of 1, cultures were split and 10 mM glucose was added to one half of the culture (squares), while the other half remained without glucose (triangles). Cells were sampled at an OD₆₀₀ of 1 and 30 min after glucose addition for RNA isolation (indicated by arrows). Experiments shown are representative for three independent experiments.
