FIG 2.

Growth analyses of V. parahaemolyticus RIMD2210633 and quadruple mutant strain BCCT1342 (ΔVP1456 ΔVP1905 ΔVPA0356 ΔVP1723). Strains were grown in M9G–1% NaCl for 5 h and then inoculated into M9G–6% NaCl medium in the absence and presence of exogenously supplied CS. Data for growth analyses carried out for 24 h are shown in the graphs. Each assay was performed in triplicate, and data are shown as pooled data from two biological replicates. The error bars indicate means ± standard errors.
