Figure 1.
Total number of colony forming units (CFUs) according to the different media and methods used. The different media were inoculated with a diluted moonmilk suspension (10−2 in blue and 10−3 in red) prepared according to the rehydration-centrifugation method and incubated for up to two months. Data obtained after 16 days (16 d) and 44 days (44 d) of incubation are displayed. The “separated” label indicates that the autoclaving of agar and phosphate was performed separately from the other components of the media. Abbreviations: Fe, 20 μM of FeCl3; DFB, 1 μM of desferrioxamine B.
