The effects of Zn and/or Cu stress on other Acinetobacter strains. Strains of Acinetobacter were diluted to OD600 = 0.01 from stationary phase cultures and grown without metal ion stress (untreated; UT), or in the presence of 400 μM Zn, 600 μM Zn, 600 μM Cu, 400 μM Zn + 400 μM Cu, or 600 μM Zn + 600 μM Cu. The effect of metal ion stress was examined by comparing the EC50, which was calculated from OD600 measurements taken every 6 mins. The results are the average of at least four replicate cultures of at least two distinct biological samples. # indicates no growth detected within 18 h
