Figure 1From: Biphasic toxicodynamic features of some antimicrobial agents on microbial growth: a dynamic mathematical model and its implications on hormesisResponse of L. mesenteroides to nisin. Graphic representation of L. mesenteroides inhibition growth (R) to nisin (D: dose in mg/l) at different temperatures (from top to bottom: 23, 30, 37°C) and specified exposure times. Experimental results (points) and fittings (lines) to the models (A1) or (A2). For clarity, doses are represented in logarithmic scale, and confidence intervals (in all the cases less than 5% of the experimental mean value; α = 0.05; n = 4) are omitted.Back to article page
