Growth of Pantoea strains at 37°C and 24°C. Maximal growth (A) and maximal hourly growth rate (B) of different isolates clustering with P. agglomerans LMG 1286^T in the rrs tree at 37°C. 0.25 OD_{420-580 nm} units correspond to about 10⁸ CFU/ml. The average values for maximal hourly growth rate (κ_max) and maximal cell density (OD_max) as well as the time needed to attain maximal hourly growth rate (t_kmax, expressed in days) are shown in (C). The asterisk indicates a statistical difference (two-tailed t-test) between clinical and other isolates (i.e., environmental, biocontrol and plant pathogenic isolates).
