Membrane anisotropy values ¹ of S. aureus strains grown to log phase ² in various media.

Strains	TSB	MHB	Serum
Pig1	0.315 ± 0.025	0.318 ± 0.035	0.212 ± 0.017
Pig1ΔcrtM	0.260 ± 0.033	0.202 ± 0.032	0.159 ± 0.007
S. argenteus	0.254 ± 0.024	0.239 ± 0.010	0.135 ± 0.016

¹ Standard error of the mean (SEM) in the anisotropy values was determined from at least three independent experiments. Statistical significance (Student’s paired t-test, two tail) values (p): Pig1_TSBvs.MHB 0.387; Pig1_TSBvs.Serum 0.0001; Pig1ΔcrtM_TSBvs.MHB 0.003; Pig1ΔcrtM_TSBvs.Serum 0.017; S. argenteus_TSBvs.MHB 0.189; S. argenteus_TSBvs.Serum 0.041; TSB_{Pig1vs.Pig1ΔcrtM} 0.023; TSB_{Pig1vs.S.argenteus} 0.023; ² OD₆₀₀ ~0.8.
