a

MIC and IC50s for M. smegmatis were determined using OD and/or fluorescence measurements for compounds that were detected as inhibitory in the LOPAC library screens. Validation of the hits was carried out using a starting concentration of 50 μM, and compounds were tested against M. smegmatis grown under nutrient-rich, carbon-limited, and nitrogen-limited culture conditions.

b

The mycobacteria were grown under nutrient-rich (LB) and carbon-limited (C−) and nitrogen-limited (N−) culture conditions.

c

Underlined MIC values indicate the growth condition under which an inhibitor was detected in screening.
