Figure 3.

The plaque assay results for MNV with/without the addition of a bacterial strain. Prior to inoculation, centrifugation was performed as a measure to remove the virus particles bound to bacterial cells from the mixture. The extent of virus–bacterium binding is therefore reflected by the drop in plaque-forming unit (PFU) count. (a) Infectious titers of MNV-1 without either of the strains, MNV-1 with S. maltophilia B4, and MNV-1 with C. massiliae F5. (b) Infectious titers of MNV S7 without either of the strains, MNV S7 with S. maltophilia B4, and MNV S7 with C. massiliae F5.
