TABLE 4.

Doubling time of WT and mga2Δ cells after oleate addition

Table shows the doubling times for growth curves in Fig. 5B. Cells were grown in BSA/oleate or BSA alone for 12 h ± oxygen. Doubling times were calculated using 0- and 6-h or 6- and 12-h optical density readings as indicated, using the formula: doubling time = (culture time × log(2))/log(final OD) − log(initial OD). Doubling times are displayed as mean ± S.D. for three biological replicates.

Strain	Oxygen	0–6 h		6–12 h
		−Oleate	+Oleate	−Oleate	+Oleate
WT	+	3.1 ± 0.1	2.9 ± 0.2	2.2 ± 0.1	2.1 ± 0.0
WT	−	3.2 ± 0.2	3.1 ± 0.3	2.9 ± 0.0	2.5 ± 0.1
mga2Δ	+	5.8 ± 0.6	5.1 ± 0.4	7.3 ± 0.5	2.8 ± 0.1
mga2Δ	−	7.6 ± 0.2	5.8 ± 0.6	39.2 ± 29.3	3.2 ± 0.0
