Table 1.
Frequency of mutants resistant to fosmidomycin (122 μM) from the wild-type strain of F. novicida U112.
| Total bacteria (Nt) | Resistant colonies | Frequency (f) | Rate (μ) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4.81 × 1010 | 270 | ||
| 5.18 × 1010 | 1500 | ||
| 3.66 × 1010 | 2310 | 6.3 × 10−8 | 0.173 |
| 3.96 × 1010 | 2520 | ||
| 4.17 × 1010 | 2820 |
First column represents five different aliquots of bacterial culture as described, and the second column represents the number of resistant colonies obtained when plated on 122 μM fosmidomycin. Bold signifies the value selected to determine Rate and Frequency.
