Fig. 1From: Phenotypic changes in group B streptococci grown in the presence of the polyols, erythritol, sorbitol and mannitolGrowth of GBS-S19 in TH broth supplemented with (a) erythritol, (b) sorbitol or (c) mannitol. Growth was assayed by optical density measured at 600 nm for the time points indicated on the x-axis. Data presented is the average OD600 of three independent experiments. OD600 values were compared with the value obtained from GBS-S19 grown without polyols to determine statistical significanceBack to article page
