FIG. 5.

Comparative levels of growth of S. enterica serovar Cubana in waste irrigation water, LB, and M63 glucose minimal salts medium. LB (filled boxes), M63 glucose minimal salts medium (filled triangles), and filter-sterilized irrigation water (filled diamonds) were inoculated with S. enterica serovar Cubana 98E01362SH2, and S. enterica populations (Pop) were monitored spectrophotometrically. The experiment was repeated three times, with similar results. Standard deviations for the reported means were less than 5% of the values. OD600, optical densities at 600 nm.
