Figure 3.
Pyruvate fermentation in the PA14 ∆phz1/2 ∆ldhA strain with 40 mM pyruvate. Cultures were incubated without phenazines or an oxidizing potential (open squares) or with 75 µM PCA and an oxidizing potential (closed squares). Error bars indicate the standard error of three independent experiments. (A) Survival of the ∆phz1/2 ∆ldhA strain during pyruvate fermentation. 100% survival represents approximately 1.4 × 109 CFU/mL. (B) Acetate produced during pyruvate fermentation in the ∆phz1/2 ∆ldhA strain. The amount of acetate produced in each experiment was normalized to the CFU measurement at day 0. Error bars are present but smaller than the data points. (C) ATP concentrations during pyruvate fermentation in the ∆phz1/2 ∆ldhA strain.
