The CO2-independence mediated by CAI is conditioned by nutrient availability. Growth of B. suis strain 513 and the CA insertion mutants (B. suis 513::pJQKm-CAI; B. suis 513::pJQKm-CAII) were tested under normal atmospheric conditions in Glutamate–Lactate–Glycerol and Glucose. Each point represents the mean ± standard error (error bars are within the size of the symbols) of technical triplicates. The experiment was repeated three times with similar results.
