“…This organization has nothing in common with any other Gram-positive or Gram-negative PTS that has been described, nor with other b-glucuronidases previously studied, such as the E. coli uidA gene (Wilson et al, 1992) or the L. gasseri gusA gene (Russel & Klaenhammer, 2001). In E. coli, the uidA gene belongs to the uidRABC operon, in which uidR encodes the transcriptional repressor while uidB encodes the transporter, and a membrane-associated protein (uidC) is involved in the glucuronide transport system (Wilson et al, 1992;Liang et al, 2005). In L. gasseri, unlike in E. coli, the gusA gene is transcribed as a monocistronic unit (Russel & Klaenhammer, 2001).…”

“…At various times, aliquots of cells were removed, pelleted, and resuspended in M63 medium containing 100 µg/mL chloramphenicol and stored on ice (Wilson et al 1992). The optical density of cells was measured at 600 nm.…”

“…Aliquots of 50 µL of permeabilization buffer (100 mM Tris at pH 7.8, 32 mM sodium phosphate, 8 mM dithiothreitol, 8 mM CDTA, and 4% Triton X-100) containing 200 µg/mL polymyxin B (Schupp et al 1995) were placed in the wells of a microtiter plate, followed by the addition of 100 µL of cells. Cells were allowed to permeabilize at room temperature for 15 min before 50-µL aliquots of GUS assay buffer (0.5 mM dithiothreitol, 1 mM EDTA, 50 mM sodium phosphate at pH 7.0) containing 1.25 mM ␣-p-nitrophenyl ␤-D-glucuronide (PNPG) were added (Wilson et al 1992). The rate of ␤-glucuronide hydrolysis was determined at 405 nm at 37°C.…”

“…At various times, aliquots of the cells were washed in the same medium containing 100 µg/ml chloramphenicol and stored on ice (Wilson et al 1992). ␤-Glucuronidase or ␤-galactosidase activities were measured for all cultures simultaneously by the Softmax microplate spectrophotometer system.…”
