Defects associated with loss of pectin sensing HTCS regulators in B. thetaiotaomicron.

aNone of the HTCS mutants indicated exhibited defects on substrates other than those noted.bValues provided are average percent of wild-type growth density (n = ≥5 replicates per mutant). p values for all mutant growths were cDisruption of an additional HTCS gene BT4182 in this locus did not result in any growth defects on the pectins tested.dDisruption of an additional HTCS gene BT4124 in this locus did not result in any growth defects on the pectins tested.
