Figure 3. C. jejuni can scavenge iron from wide variety of sources.
Selected mutant strains were immobilised in MH agar treated with DFO and provided with various iron sources to determine their ability to use each source. The mean growth promotions of each mutant were normalized to those measured for the wild-type strain. The intensity of the red color output for the figure is a function of the relative growth promotion. Black denotes the absence of growth promotion. The results from these experiments were subjected to hierarchical clustering analysis using Pearson’s correlation coefficient.
