Growth of a B. subtilis msmX-null mutant in the presence of different mono- and polysaccharides.

Doubling time (min) of different strains in liquid minimal medium (CSK) using pectin, galactan, rhamnogalacturonan I, polygalacturonan or galacturonic acid as sole carbon and energy source. Results are the averages of three independent assays and their respective standard deviations. NG, no growth.
