Figure 1.

Growth (OD600) measured over time (h) for S. wittichii RW1 WT cultures initiated at atmospheric O2 (black symbols) or reduced O2 (gray symbols), and for norBch mutant S. wittichii RW1 cultures initiated at atmospheric O2 (white symbols). Triangles = 0 mM added NaNO2, squares = 0.3 mM added NaNO2, and circles = 1 mM added NaNO2. Points on the growth curves represent averaged values from 5 independent experiments for each incubation condition.
