Fig. 4From: Construction of efficient Streptococcus zooepidemicus strains for hyaluoronic acid production based on identification of key genes involved in sucrose metabolismEffects of deletion of hasE or scrK on cell growth and HA biosynthesis. a WT and the indicated mutants were grown on solid THY (sucrose+) plates for 24 h, and the colonies were photographed. b The indicated strains were grown in liquid THY (sucrose+) flasks for 24 h, and the cell density was determined by measuring the OD660. c HA produced by the indicated strains grown in liquid THY (sucrose+) flasks for 24 h was determined by the carbazole method. Data (b, c) represents the mean values from three independent experimentsBack to article page
