FIGURE 3.
Deletion mutant ranking depends on cell survival over time under conditions of gentamicin exposure. Stationary phase cultures of W3110 and single-gene mutants were diluted 100-fold and exposed to 20 μg/ml gentamicin for 0.5, 1, and 2 h. The data for each mutant was plotted and compared with that of W3110. Error bars indicate the standard deviation (n = 3). The asterisk indicates statistical significance as determined using Mann–Whitney U tests (∗P < 0.05).
