Relative expression of genes coding for enzymes of acetate metabolism in <i>E. coli</i> MG1655 (4a) and mutant strain TBE029 (4b).

<p>The transcription pattern was analyzed in cells from glucose-limited continuous cultures and normalized to the reference genes <i>recA, rpoD</i> and <i>ybhC</i> and to the expression under anaerobic conditions. <i>aceA</i>: isocitrate lyase, <i>ackA</i>: acetate kinase, <i>poxB</i>: pyruvate oxidase, <i>acs</i>: acetyl-CoA synthetase.
