Figure 10From: Impact of the Staphylococcus epidermidis LytSR two-component regulatory system on murein hydrolase activity, pyruvate utilization and global transcriptional profilePyruvate utilization test of S. epidermidis 1457 ΔlytSR. Bacteria were grown in pyruvate fermentation broth at 37 °C, and growth was monitored by measuring the turbidity of the cultures at 600 nm as described in Materials and Methods. Data are means ± SD of 3 independent experiments.Back to article page
