Figure S1. Comparison of the expression levels of the CcpA-repressed genes involved in carbohydrates metabolism in C. acetobutylicum ATCC 824 (824WT) in the presence and absence of D-glucose. Most of the CcpA-repressed genes exhibited significant upregulation when d-glucose was depleted (S2 and S3) in wild-type strain 824WT.

Table S2. Identified putative CcpA-binding sites in Clostridium acetobutylicum. The table lists all of predicted catabolite repression elements (CREs) in Clostridium acetobutylicum. HMM method was used for the prediction. The training set for HMM search was obtained from microarray expression data. The genes up-regulated or down-regulated in transcript levels were indicated.

Figure S3. Quantitative RT-PCR analysis of gene araR, gene araD and gene ptk to assess the impact of L-arabinose on transcription of the gene cluster araR-araD-araA1-ptk. The fold difference in gene expression is calculated as the gene expression level in the cultures (grown in D-glucose-L-arabinose mixture) divided by that of the wild-type strain grown in L-arabinose.
