An active CAII reverts the CO2-dependence of B. ovis PA and does not alter its multiplication in the mouse model. A Growth of B. ovis PA and its derivative strain carrying B. abortus 2308W CAII in the genome (B. ovis PA Tn7Ba2308WCAII) under normal atmospheric conditions in Peptone-Glucose-Yeast Extract-Serum. 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. B Bacterial loads of B. ovis PA and B. ovis PA Tn7Ba2308WCAII in the spleens of BALB/c mice at 3 and 8 weeks post-infection. No statistical differences were found (Student’s t-test).
