aScreening test was conducted at individual drug concentration that yielded 0% or 10% of the maximal inhibition to the IPTG-induced green fluorescence signal. Iteration #1 was conducted at individual drug concentration that gave 0% or 10% of the maximal inhibition level and one-half of the concentration that gave 10% of the maximal inhibition level. Iteration #2 was done at 0% or 15% effect levels and one-half of the concentration that gave 15% of the maximal inhibition level. Iterations #3A and 3B were conducted at 0% or 20% effect level and two-thirds, one-half or one-fourth of the concentration that gave 20% of the maximal inhibition level. Iteration #3C was conducted at 0% or 15% effect levels and one-half of the concentration that gave 15% of the maximal inhibition level.
