beta-galactosidase activity is barely detectable in supernatants of wild-type and oprB1-deficient strains, the supernatant of glucose-grown colR-deficient strain contains 4% of total beta-galactosidase activity of the cell suspension. | Pseudomonas putida |
additional information | - |
Membrane permeability of colRoprB1 double mutant is similar to that of the wild-type regardless of the presence of phenol in the growth medium. | Pseudomonas putida |
additional information | - |
The oprB1 single mutant also behaves like the wild type in membrane permeability test. | Pseudomonas putida |
additional information | - |
The presence of phenol in the growth medium of colR mutant increases the proportion of extracellular beta-galactosidase activity up to 15%. | Pseudomonas putida |
additional information | - |
To evaluate membrane permeability, measurement of the activity of an intracellular enzyme beta-galactosidase in nonpermeabilized cells is done. beta-galactosidase is assayed after the bacterial cell membrane is permeabilized with SDS and chloroform. beta-galactosidase activity of untreated cells is compared with that of permeabilized cells. As a source of beta-galactosidase, a plasmid pKTlacZS/C containing the tnpA promoter of the transposon Tn4652 upstream the lacZ gene is used. beta-galactosidase activity in permeabilized glucose-grown cells of all studied genetic backgrounds is about 80 Miller units. | Pseudomonas putida |
additional information | - |
Up to 15% of total beta-galactosidase activity is detectable in colR-deficient cells grown on glucose minimal plates, and about 35% when cells are grown on glucose medium supplemented with 1 mM phenol. The membrane of colR-deficient strain is more permeable and the presence of phenol further increases the leakiness of the membrane of colR mutant. | Pseudomonas putida |
additional information | - |
When cells are assayed without the prior chloroform and SDS treatment, differences between the strains become evident. Only 4% of total beta-galactosidase activity is measurable in nonpermeabilized wild-type cells regardless of the presence of phenol in the growth medium. | Pseudomonas putida |
