Figure 1From: Acetic acid increases the phage-encoded enterotoxin A expression in Staphylococcus aureusGrowth and relative sea levels of S. aureus Mu50 when grown at different pH levels. (A) Growth curves determined by OD measurements at 620 nm at pH 7.0, 6.5, 6.0, 5.5, 5.0, and 4.5. (B) Relative expression (RE) of sea at pH 7.0, 6.5, 6.0, and 5.5. Solid and dashed lines represent growth and RE, respectively. For pH 6.0 and 5.5, the mean and standard deviations of independent batch cultures; two and three, respectively, is displayed.Back to article page
