Figure 1. S. aureus adapt to avoid the toxic effects of hemin.

Figure 1

A) S. aureus wildtype and ΔsrtA were grown O/N in TSB and then subcultured into TSB supplemented with 0, 5, 10, or 20 μM hemin. Growth rates were determined by measuring the absorbance (O.D. 600) at the indicated time points. B) S. aureus wildtype was grown O/N in TSB supplemented with 0 or 1 μM hemin (1→) and then subcultured into TSB supplemented with 0 or 10 μM hemin (→0 or →10). The results represent the mean ± S.D. from triplicate experiments. Asterisks denote statistically significant differences as determined by Student's t test (p≤0.05).
