Time course of SI production and MI consumption along with cell growth. (A) Bioconversion from MI into SI was performed by strains KU104 (PrpsO-iolW; squares), KU105 (PrpoB-iolW; diamonds), and KU106 (PrpsO-iolG iolW; triangles). Cell growth (optical density of cells: closed symbols) and concentrations of MI (open symbols with dotted lines) and SI (open symbols with continuous lines) in the medium are shown. (B) Bioconversion of MI into SI was performed by strain KU106 (PrpsO-iolG iolW) in the presence of various concentrations of Bacto soytone; 2% (w/v) (triangles), 1% (circles), and 0.5% (squares). Cell growth (optical density of cells: closed symbols) and concentrations of MI (open symbols with dotted lines) and SI (open symbols with continuous lines) in the medium are shown. A representative set of data from three independent experiments with similar results is shown.
