Figure 10. The inactivation of LdtR_Lcr by small molecules reduces osmotic stress tolerance in L. crescens.

Cells were grown in modified BM7 media (black bars), supplemented with 200 mM sucrose (dark grey bars), or 150 mM NaCl (light gray bars). Increasing concentrations of (A) benzbromarone, (B) phloretin, or (C) hexestrol in the culture media are indicated under each panel. Growth was expressed as a percentage of the OD₆₀₀ of cells grown in modified BM7 media, at stationary phase. The growth curves were performed in triplicates.
