Potassium-Dependent Growth Profiles of E. faecalis Wild-Type and Mutant Strains (a) Schematic representation of the potassium transporters present in the wild-type strain and the different mutants (b) Potassium-dependent growth of different E. faecalis JH2-2 mutants was assessed. Growth curves were generated in a semi-defined medium deficient in K+ (MSSM supplemented with amino acids, vitamins, and CAA 0.1%), with different concentrations of KCl (0–10 mM). For each condition, μmax was calculated and plotted against the KCl concentration in the medium. The wild-type E. faecalis JH2-2 strain (circle) was used as a control, Kup+ (triangle), KimA+ (square).
