FIG. 2.

(A) Viable counts at different inoculum sizes (dilution levels) for three different media after 12 weeks of incubation. Symbols: ○, DNBG; □, VXylA; ▵, VXylG. Each point represents the mean of five replicate plates. The thick horizontal line indicates the mean, and the vertical lines indicate one standard deviation from the mean. (B) Increase in viable counts with incubation time at three different inoculum sizes. •, inoculum of 1,780 cells per plate; ▪, inoculum of 178 cells per plate; ▴, inoculum of 17.8 cells per plate. Data are pooled results obtained with DNBG, VXylA, and VXylG. The results from each counting set were calculated as a percentage of the 12-week count for that counting set, and each point represents the mean of three media, with each used for seven counting sets, each of which in turn was made of five replicate plates. For clarity, standard errors are not shown; the mean standard error for all points was 12.3% of the values plotted.
