Fig. 7. Effect of Cd on SK36 survivability and phagocytosis.

Fig. 7

(a) SK36 and (b) Cd viable cell counts (CFU ml−1) after culturing either in mixed or monospecies cultures. Bacterial survival (CFU ml-1) within RAW 264.7 cells for up to 2 h post uptake of (c) SK36 and (d) Cd, in the mixed culture compared with their individual culture controls. e Representative confocal micrographs of RAW 264.7 cells infected with SK36 expressing GFP (SK36-GFP) and its mixed culture with Cd (SK36-GFP + Cd) at 30, 60, 90, and 120 min post uptake. Filamentous actin is indicated by red fluorescence, while nuclei are labeled with blue fluorescence. Data are presented as the means of three biological replicates. Error bars denote standard deviations.
