B. clausii strains Tetra, N/R SIN and O/C protein yield and endogenous respiratory activity. Panel A: B. clausii strains O/C, Tetra SIN and N/R protein yield. Bacteria were grown in batch as described under Section 2. Reported values are the averages from at least three independent experiments; error bars represent 1 SD. Panel B: B. clausii strains O/C, Tetra SIN and N/R endogenous respiration. The oxygen consumption activity has been determined as reported in Section 2. Oxygen consumption measurements have been performed on at least three independent cultures for each strain and for each time point; error bars represent 1 SD.
