SFN and PEITC effectively inhibit growth of model Gram(−) and Gram(+) bacteria, however it is dependent on stringent response in E. coli but not in B. subtilis. Minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) (A) and zone inhibition (ZI) (A,B) of SFN and PEITC against E. coli and B. subtilis strains and their ppGpp0 derivatives. For the zone inhibition test discs were spotted aseptically with 0,1 µg of SFN or PEITC. (C) The synthesis of ppGpp and pppGpp, and level of GTP were assessed by culturing wt or ppGpp-null bacteria in the presence of [32P]orthophosphoric acid followed by cell lysis and nucleotide separation by thin-layer chromatography. SHX or RHX served as positive controls.
