This graph shows the growth of DH10B cells harboring the GsSDMT gene on an expression plasmid in .6 M NaCl/LB. Cells were treated with 1mM IPTG, 1 mM dimethyl gylcine (DMG), both, or nothing. Induction caused a decrease of growth due to the high strength of the promoter and associated stress of production. The expression of the gene helped growth when DMG was supplied relative to IPTG only. | This graph shows the growth of DH10B cells harboring the GsSDMT gene on an expression plasmid in .6 M NaCl/LB.

MODEL of SDMT 
This graph shows the growth of DH10B control cells in .6 M NaCl/LB. Cells were treated with 1mM IPTG, 1 mM dimethyl gylcine (DMG), both, or nothing. These treatments had little effect on control cells.
