Influence of AI-2 on growth of E. coli wild-type strain (ATCC 43894) and the luxS-deficient mutant strain under osmotic stress. EHEC wild-type (WT), luxS-deficient mutant (MT), and the mutant with 3 μM (as final concentration) of AI-2 (MT + AI-2) were cultured for 10 h under 0.6M NaCl LB broth. The growth rates were measured from optical density 600 nm values (A). Individual cell length-to-width ratio (B) was measured and calculated from at least 90 representative objects. Error bars indicate the standard deviations. Significance is indicated (p ≤ 0.05; ∗∗p ≤ 0.01; ∗∗∗p ≤ 0.001).
