Mortality of Galleria mellonella after injected with V. cholerae wild type and indole deficient mutant

V. cholerae strains	G. mellonella mortality within 36 h (%)
V. cholerae strains	Mean ± SD
Control (indole)	0
Wild type	63.3 ± 4.7^a
Mutant	43.0 ± 4.2^b
Mutant + 0.5 mM indole	49.5 ± 4.9^bc
Mutant + 1.0 mM indole	56.5 ± 4.9^ac
Mutant + 2.0 mM indole	63.0 ± 4.2^a
Mutant + 4.0 mM indole	66.0 ± 0^a

Both wild type and mutant strains were cultured in 5 mL of LB broth at 37 °C for 3 h and the concentration of cells was adjusted in PBS. Fifteen of G. mellonella were injected in each category

The difference in super subscribe indicates the significant difference

In control group, the larvae were injected only with indole at the concentration of 0.5–4 mM
