FIG 1.

Increasing the concentration of oxalate promotes the growth of BS168. (A) Growth is represented as the increase in optical density at 600 nm over the course of 24 h. BS168 was grown in LB broth with NaOx at the indicated concentrations. Three biological replicates were performed; the means of 10 representative replicates and standard deviations are plotted. (B) Area under the logistic curve from panel A (n = 10). (C) Time at curve inflection from panel A (n = 10). (D) Comparisons of BS168 growth at different NaOx concentrations by a Kruskal-Wallis test with Dunn’s multiple comparisons. Only the comparison pairs shown had significantly different effects on BS168 growth. *, P < 0.05; **, P < 0.01; ***, P < 0.001; ****, P < 0.0001; ns, not significant.
