From: Glyphosate affects persistence and tolerance but not antibiotic resistance

Fig. 2

Glyphosate has a bacteriostatic effect even in the absence of relA. Exponentially growing \(3 \times 10^3\) cells/ml were exposed to 5 mM glyphosate suspended in 0.9% NaCl or in 0.9% NaCl containing 30 mM Tris (pH 7) up to 6 hours at 37\(^{\circ }\)C. Bacteria suspended in 0.9% NaCl were used as a control. The fraction of survivors was determined by L-agar plating and colony counting. A MG1655; B MG1655 \(\Delta {relA}\). Each point corresponds to the mean of three independent cultures ± standard deviation (SD)
