Effects of Repeated Nutrient Supply on E. coli Growth In Vitro and Proteomic Analysis
(A and B) Dynamics of E. coli K12 bacterial growth during nine regular provisions of MH medium.
(C–E) Proteins were extracted during the last growth cycle as indicated by arrows during the Exp phase (Exp, a) and the Stat phase (Stat, b). Representative images of Coomassie brilliant blue-stained 2D gels of cytoplasmic proteins extracted from E. coli K12 in Exp (D) and in Stat (E) phases; MW, molecular weight.
(F) Number of E. coli proteins increased in each growth phase in relation to their catabolic or anabolic properties.
(G) Effects of bacterial proteins on ATP production in vitro from different food substrates.
(H–J) ClpB protein levels ± SEM in two growth phases was analyzed by western blot (H and I) and ELISA (J). OD, optical density. Student’s t test, ∗p < 0.05.
