Growth protocol
Chemostat Cultivation—Steady-state chemostat cultures were grown in Applikon laboratory fermentors of 1-liter working volume as described in detail elsewhere [van den Berg, M. A., de Jong-Gubbels, P., Kortland, C. J., van Dijken, J. P., Pronk, J. T., and Steensma, H. Y. (1996) J. Biol. Chem. 271, 28953–28959]. In brief, the cultures were fed with a defined mineral medium containing glucose as the growth-limiting nutrient [. Verduyn, C., Postma, E., Scheffers, W. A., and van Dijken, J. P. (1990) Microbiol.Rev. 58, 616–630]. The dilution rate (which equals the specific growth rate) in the steady-state cultures was 0.10 h_1, the temperature was 30 °C, and the culture pH was 5.0.Aerobic conditions were maintained by sparging the cultures with air (0.5 liter_min_1). The dissolved oxygen concentration, which was continuously monitored with an Ingold model 34-100-3002 probe, remained above 80% of air saturation. The synthetic media composition was based on that described by Verduyn (1992). The media composition for aerobic cultivations was the following: for carbon-limited cultivation, 5.0 g.liter-1 (NH4)2SO4, 3.0 g.liter-1 KH2PO4, 0.5 g.liter-1 MgSO4•7H2O, 7.5 g.liter-1 glucose and 4.5 mg.liter-1 ZnSO4•7H2O. van den Berg, M.

Extracted molecule
total RNA
Extraction protocol
Microarray analysis. Sampling of cells from chemostats and total RNA extraction was performed as previously described in Abbott et al. (2007). Probe preparation and hybridization to Affymetrix Genechip® microarrays were performed following Affymetrix instructions. The one-cycle eukaryotic target labelling assay was g of total RNA. The quality of total RNA, cDNA, cRNA andused, starting with 15 fragmented cRNA were checked using the Agilent Bioanalyzer 2100 (Agilent Technologies). Results for each growth condition were derived from three independent culture replicates. Abbott DA, Knijnenburg TA, de Poorter LM, Reinders MJ, Pronk JT, van Maris AJ.
