Influence of the ftsR deletion in C. glutamicum MB001 on the expression of the venus reporter gene under control of the ftsZ promoter. The indicated strains were cultivated in CGXII medium with 2% (w/v) glucose and 25 μg/mL kanamycin in a BioLector with automated measurement of Venus fluorescence and of cell density as backscatter (a). Specific fluorescence represents the ratio of fluorescence and backscatter at 20 h cultivation (b). Average values and standard deviations of three biological replicates are shown (a). b shows the result of six biological replicates
