| [Acetate] 2, mM | Staphyloxanthin 3 | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Log | Stationary | Log | Stationary | |
| TSB | 8.50 ± 0.99 | 19.38 ± 2.31 | 0.017 ± 0.0006 | 0.127 ± 0.0121 |
| TSB-Glucose | 8.07 ± 1.42 | 25.82 ± 1.85 | 0.018 ± 0.0023 | 0.033 ± 0.0012 |
| MHB | 3.09 ± 0.64 | 7.33 ± 1.02 | 0.051 ± 0.0029 | 0.086 ± 0.0029 |

1 Standard error of the mean (SEM) in the acetate concentration was determined from three independent experiments; 2 Acetate concentration was determined in the supernatants of log (OD600 ~0.8) and stationary phase (12 h; TSB, OD600 ~8.0; MHB, OD600 ~6.0) cultures; 3 OD465 per mg dry weight of cell mass.
