Cocultures of V. cholerae with E. coli strains.CFU of V. cholerae El Tor strain N16961 (SmR) was enumerated in individual cultures (a) or in cocultures (1:1) with E. coli 40 (Ec40) or E. coli Nissle (EcN) (b) at different time points. At all time points, pH of the culture supernatants was measured (c). CFU of V. cholerae classical strain O395 (SmR) in mono- and co-cultures was similarly assayed and pH of the culture supernatants was measured (d)
