FIG. 1.
Growth (▪) of the representative isolates and the BSH-negative control (E. coli AK108) in culture medium without TCDC (−TCDC) and in culture medium with addition of TCDC (+TCDC). The BSH activity (bars) for isolates was determined at intervals during the 24-h growth period. The concentrations of TCDC (▴) and CDC (•) were determined during growth in the TCDC-supplemented culture medium. Values for the representative isolates are expressed as means ± standard deviations (n = 3).
