Figure 3. Supplementation with arginine or glutamate does not mitigate intracellular acidification.

Measurements of the intracellular pH of E. coli MG1655 pJTD1 during C8 challenge while grown in the presence of supplemental arginine and glutamate. The cells were incubated for 3°C in MOPS media to allow utilization of the amino acid-dependent acid resistance systems. All concentrations are 10 mM.
