TABLE 3.
Quantification of V. vulnificus cells in liquid culture after 24 h of incubation under different conditions
| Genotypea | Condition | OD610b,c | Log CFU/mlb |
|---|---|---|---|
| C | Aerobic | 0.40 ± 0.02* | 8.48 ± 0.08 |
| C | Anaerobic | 0.14 ± 0.02* | 8.05 ± 0.17 |
| E | Aerobic | 0.491 ± 0.02* | 8.91 ± 0.16 |
| E | Anaerobic | 0.193 ± 0.01* | 8.50 ± 0.12 |
a
Strains with C-genotypes were CMCP6 and MO6-42; strains with E-genotypes were JY1701 and JY1305.
b
Data are means ± standard errors.
c
Asterisks indicate a significant (P < 0.05) difference (based on Mann-Whitney nonparametric rank-sum tests) between the OD610 of aerobically versus anaerobically grown cultures within the same genotype.
