Enumeration of Fno in Galleria mellonella larva after injection. Abundance of Fno STIR-GUS-F2f7 (black line) and Fno Ehime-1 (grey line) in the haemolymph of G. mellonella larvae during 264 h at 28 °C after injection with ca. 1 × 109 CFU/mL. Actual CFU/mL after plating bacterial suspensions of each Fno isolate on CHAH were: 5.7 × 109 for Fno STIR-GUS-F2f7 and 1.6 × 109 for Fno Ehime-1. Unmanipulated and PBS only larvae were sampled at the start, middle (144 h) and end of the experiment and no Fno colonies were recovered (data not shown). Bars are means of log10 transformations of (CFU/mL + 1) data + one standard deviation (n = 5)
