Figure 5From: Toxicity of unsaturated fatty acids to the biohydrogenating ruminal bacterium, Butyrivibrio fibrisolvensInfluence of sodium lactate (70 mM) on the loss of cell integrity of B. fibrisolvens JW11 following incubation with LA (50 μg ml-1). Loss of cell integrity was determined by fluorescence in the presence of propidium iodide. Sodium lactate + LA (open bar), LA alone (black bar). Results are means and SD from three cultures, each of which was subject to 8 replicate measurements (n = 24).Back to article page
