(A) Time-courses of dry cell weight using glucose as the sole carbon source: S. maritimus /WT in modified TSB medium with 5% tryptone and 3% starch (open circles); S. maritimus /WT in modified TSB medium with 5% tryptone and 3% cellobiose (open diamonds). (B) Time-courses of produced benzoate in culture: S. maritimus/WT in modified TSB medium with 5% tryptone and 3% starch (closed circles); S. maritimus/WT in modified TSB medium with 5% tryptone and 3% cellobiose (closed diamonds). (C) Time-courses of β-glucosidase activity in the intracellular fractions of S. maritimus/WT, S. lividans, and S. coelicolor using modified TSB medium with 5% tryptone and 3% cellobiose: S. maritimus/WT (closed circles), S. lividans (closed squares), S. coelicolor (closed triangles). (D) Time-courses of α-amylase activity in the culture supernatant of S. maritimus/WT, S. lividans, and S. coelicolor modified TSB medium with 5% tryptone and 3% starch: S. maritimus/WT (closed circles), S. lividans (closed squares), S. coelicolor (closed triangles). The dry cell weight and benzoate concentration were determined in the same culture. Each data point shows the average of three independent experiments, and error bars represent standard deviation.
