Characterization of the influence of trpP on amino acid formation in C. glutamicum. Cultivation of WT TRP+++-derived trpP deletion (A) and plasmid-based overexpression (B) strains regarding their growth, l-tryptophan accumulation and l-valine accumulation. The strains were cultivated in biological triplicates (quadruplicates for the plasmid-harboring strains) in 50 ml CGXII media supplemented with 111 mM glucose in 500 ml baffled shake flasks. The cultivation started with an OD600 = 0.8, and 200 µM IPTG and 25 µg/ml kanamycin were added to the plasmid-harboring strains. The mean values are shown as diamonds, and the standard deviations are shown as lines
