Effect of ace inactivation on virulence. Percent survival of G. mellonella larvae at 16, 20, and 24 h after infection with L. lactis IL1403 (black bar), E. faecalis JH2-2 (gray bar), the JH2-2 Δace mutant (hatched bar), and the complemented Δace mutant strain (white bar). We used 6 × 106 CFU counted on an agar plate per injection. Experiments were repeated at least three times, and the results represent the mean ± standard deviation of live larvae.
