Fig 5. Determination of paraquat resistance levels in P. aeruginosa strains.

Fig 5

(A) Paraquat resistance levels in PAO1 containing the mnin-Tn7 vector control (PAO1::Tn7T, red) and ΔfinR mutants containing Tn7T (dotted green), Tn7T-finR (purple), Tn7T-fprA (dotted blue), Tn7T-fprB (yellow), or Tn7T-fdx1 (dotted black) were determined using plate sensitivity assays. (B) Paraquat (150 μM) resistance levels of P. aeruginosa strains were determined using LB with and without 1% (w/v) KNO3 supplementation and incubated under aerobic and anaerobic atmospheres. The survival is expressed as a percentage of the CFU on LB plates containing paraquat over the CFU on plates without paraquat. Data shown are means ± SD from three independent experiments.
