B. longum NCC 2705 promoter activities of mid-exponentially grown cells on 1% different hexoses and pentoses. Promoter activity is measured as the fluorescence emitted by the mCherry protein, normalized by the cell density (OD 600 nm). Fluorescence emitted by the cells harboring the pSDU30 (PBL1359-mCherry) or the pSDU32 (PBL1694-mCherry) construct is depicted in panels (A) and (B), respectively. Values represent average of biological duplicates and technical triplicates. Significant differences were calculated using one-way ANOVA, followed by a Sidak’s multiple comparison test (*P-value < 0.05; **P-value < 0.01; ***P-value < 0.001; ****P-value < 0.0001).
