Gordonia sp. strains | RDX concn (μg ml−1) |
|
---|---|---|
Rich medium | Minimal medium | |
KTR9 | 1.5 (0.2) | 0.0 (0.0) |
KTR9/pGKT2-1Δ | 44.6 (0.6) | 44.8 (1.4) |
KTR9/pGKT2-2Δ | 42.2 (0.2) | 44.2 (1.2) |
Wild-type and plasmid-cured KTR9 strains were grown for up to 67 h in LB medium containing 45 ppm RDX and a minimal medium containing RDX as the sole nitrogen source. Results represent the averages (standard deviations) of triplicate samples.
