A. The growth of A. finegoldii was monitored in either DSM Medium 104 (104, red), DSM Medium 104 excluding Tween 80 (104-T, blue), or lipid-free WCAB defined medium (WCAB, black). Growth was monitored over three days, and data is presented as the mean A600 ± S.E.M. of three independent cultures.
B. Concentration-dependent growth inhibition of A. finegoldii by the FASII inhibitor cerulenin in 104-T medium (blue), in 104-T medium supplemented with 50 μM anteiso-15:0 (green), or 104-T medium supplemented with 50 μM 18:1Δ9 (purple). A. finegoldii was back-diluted 1:100 from a stationary phase stock culture grown in 104-T medium into 104-T medium containing 1% v/v DMSO, and the indicated concentrations of cerulenin and the A600 of the cultures was measured at 48 hours. Growth data is the mean A600 ± S.E.M. of three biological replicates.
