FIGURE 1.
Growth of the three strains of B. cereus ATCC 10876 (green squares), ATCC 14579T (blue circles), and MM3 (red triangles) at warm (upper panel) and cold (lower panels) temperatures. Warm temperature was 30°C for all strains. Cold temperatures were 12°C (close symbols) and 10°C for MM3 only (open symbols). Arrows indicate growth times at which cultures were sampled for fatty acid analysis (black: 0, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 7, and 24 h at 30°C, 0, 3, 7, 24, 48, 72, and 96 h at 10 and 12°C) and for MM3 at 10°C only (red: 5 h). At cold temperatures, growth during the first 7 h is detailed in the lower right-hand panel. Error bars represent standard deviation (n = 3).
