Xylella fastidiosa growth patterns in PW and 3G10R media. Both cultures have been made with a 1 : 20 ml inoculum of X. fastidiosa 9a5c cells grown into late exponential phase in PW (OD₆₀₀ = 0.25). Cultures were then incubated in an orbital shaker at 28°C and 100 rpm. One milliliter (1 ml) aliquots were taken from each culture, on a daily basis, to monitor bacterial growth through OD₆₀₀ readings. Measurements were performed in triplicate and graphic shows the average values and their respective standard deviations.
