Fig. 5From: Expanding the genetic toolbox of Rhodotorula toruloides by identification and validation of six novel promoters induced or repressed under nitrogen starvationAnalysis of strain UP1a. UP1a (promoter 3877p, from the gene RTBOTA2_003877 encoding a putative nitrate transporter) was cultivated in shake flasks in four different media (CN40, CN80, CN160, YNB1x). GFP fluorescence intensity (A) was analysed using flow cytometry; 100,000 events were captured. Ammonia concentration (B) was analysed using an enzymatic kit. OD620nm and glucose consumption are available in Additional file 1: Figure S7, and ammonia concentration on the control medium YNB1x in Additional file 1: Figure S10. Error bars refer to standard deviation from two biological replicatesBack to article page
