FIGURE 2.

Liberibacter crescens growth in different Grace’s Insect media. Cells were grown in Hi-GI and washed prior inoculation. Growth was monitored measuring optical density (OD₆₀₀) twice a day for ∼9 days. L. crescens grew significantly better in Hi-GI compared to Gibco-GI, Sigma-GI and Lab-GI media, and similar to BM-7 up to 116 h. (A) L. crescens growth in BM-7, Hi-GI (Hi-Media Labs), Gibco-GI (Gibco Technologies), and Sigma-GI (Sigma-Aldrich). (B) L. crescens growth in Grace’s Insect Medium prepared in the lab (Lab-GI) based on Hi-GI formula.
