Figure 2. Stress conditions trigger mucoid morphotype variation.

Figure 2

(a) Frequency of nonmucoid morphotype of B. multivorans D2095 incubated at 37°C for 7 days in SM liquid medium under the indicated stress conditions. (b) Ratio of c.f.u. obtained by dividing the number of c.f.u. at day 7 by the initial number of c.f.u.. Cip, ciprofloxacin; Km, kanamycin; Caz, ceftazidime; Amk, amikacin; GSNO, S-nitrosoglutathione; Microaer, microaerophilic conditions. Error bars show SD. The data are based on mean values from the results of three independent cell cultivations. The t-test was performed using GraphPad Prism 5.0 software. A P-value of <0.05 was considered significant compared with the condition of SM medium only (*).
