FIG. 7. Resistance to DCS in E. coli carrying ALR and/or DDL. The survival (%) by a given concentration of DCS was expressed as a ratio of E. coli harboring each plasmid grown in the presence of DCS to the same cells grown in the absence of DCS. The cell growth was monitored as A[600 nm]. A, plasmids carrying alrS and K12alr are shown as open and closed triangles, respectively. B, plasmids carrying ddlS, ddlA, and ddlB are shown as open squares, closed squares, and closed diamonds, respectively. C, plasmids carrying alrS-ddlS, K12alr-ddlA, and K12alr-ddlB are shown as open diamonds, closed squares, and closed diamonds, respectively. E. coli harboring pET-21a(+) was used as a control strain (A-C, closed circles).
