Quorum sensing regulates the osmotic stress response in V. harveyi. (A, B) V. harveyi strains were grown in LOM with 1 mM choline and 0.2 M (A) or 1 M NaCl (B). The strains are tested were wild-type V. harveyi carrying a control plasmid (BB120::pLAFR2), V. harveyi ΔluxR carrying a control vector (KM669::pLAFR2), and V. harveyi ΔluxR carrying a plasmid encoding luxR (KM669::pKM699). The data shown are the means and standard errors from three biological replicates and represent those from at least three independent experiments.
