Values in parentheses are intensity ratios (normalized reference intensity value/normalized selection intensity value), and are the average of two independent, inversely labeled experiments. All mutants were individually tested. aMutants that exhibited a growth defect in the absence of aromatic amino acids. MGK, Monitoring of Gene Knockouts.
