Figure 6. Growth of the wild-type, ΔmetQ, ΔmetEF and ΔmetEF/ΔmetQ S. pneumoniae strains in nutrient rich and semi defined media.
Growth measured using OD580 of the wild-type (squares), ΔmetQ (inverted triangles), ΔmetEF (triangles) and ΔmetEF/ΔmetQ (diamonds) S. pneumoniae strains grown in THY (A), C+Y with no added methionine (B), C+Y with 50 µM methionine (C), or C+Y with 750 µM methionine (D). Each data point is the mean log2 OD580 for three samples.
