Table S1 - Stabilization of Homoserine-O-Succinyltransferase (MetA) Decreases the Frequency of Persisters in Escherichia coli under Stressful Conditions

Effect of stabilized MetA protein on E.coli growth at different temperatures or in the presence of sodium acetate. Strains were grown in M9 glucose medium (pH 7.0 or 6.0) with or without sodium acetate (20 mM) in an automatic growth-measuring incubator at indicated temperatures for 24 h. The specific growth rate μ (h−1) was calculated through linear regression analysis of ln(X/X0) data with Sigma Plot software, where the initial OD600 (X0) was 0.1–0.15 at the zero time point, and X represents the OD600 values measured every 10 min in an exponentially growing culture over 1 h.
