Phenotypical characterization of conditional depletion mutants.

<p>Cells were cultivated in synthetic medium with the optimal NaCl concentration of 2.1(A), pyruvate (B), sucrose (C), glycerol (D), and casamino acids (E) as carbon source, respectively. (F) shows growth in synthetic medium with casamino acids at the elevated salt concentration of 4 M NaCl. Average results from triplicate cultures and their standard deviations are shown. The color code is defined with dotted lines and open symbols for the wild-type (black squares) and depleted mutants cultivated without tryptophan, with solid lines and filled symbols for the wild-type and mutants cultivated with tryptophan. The following colors are used for the mutants: Depl_0117 (aIF6, yellow triangles), Depl_1946 (aIF1, blue circles), Depl_2300 (aIF5A, red diamonds).
