From: Benzoate mediates the simultaneous repression of anaerobic 4-methylbenzoate and succinate utilization in Magnetospirillum sp. strain pMbN1

Figure 3

Fold change in the abundance of proteins related to uptake and catabolism of benzoate (1ab), 4-methylbenzoate (2ab) and succinate (3abc) during anaerobic growth of Magnetospirillum sp. strain pMbN1 with substrate mixtures or single substrates (M, 4-methylbenzoate; B, benzoate; S, succinate; the adaptation substrate is listed first in each case). Sampling points for proteomic analyses are marked in green in the growth curves displayed on the left panel. Identified proteins are marked in blue. For further details (including abundance profiles of Had-1 and Had-2) see Additional file 1: Table S1. *, Transcript profiles of selected genes during growth with the ternary substrate mixture are shown in Figure 2.
