FIG 10.

Assessment of bacteriostatic effect of kasugamycin at 600 nm on P. syringae pv. actinidiae NZ V-13 grown in planktonic mode and E. coli JM101, applied as a positive control. Dash (A), initial OD₆₀₀ of untreated E. coli cells (E. coli OD1/ml; OD₆₀₀ = 0.36); Solid line (B), initial OD₆₀₀ of untreated P. syringae pv. actinidiae NZ V-13 cells (Psa OD1/ml; OD₆₀₀ = 0.44); Squares (C), final OD₆₀₀ of E. coli cells treated with 100 ppm of kasugamycin (E. coli OD2/ml) (OD₆₀₀ = 0.78) and normal saline (OD₆₀₀ = 1.97); Circles (D), final OD₆₀₀ of P. syringae pv. actinidiae NZ V-13 cells treated with different concentrations of kasugamycin and normal saline (Psa OD2/ml; OD₆₀₀ = 1.34). Values and error bars (<0.03 in all treatments) represent the averages and standard deviations from 3 independent replicates, respectively.
