FIG. 2.

Resuscitation of serovar Typhimurium strain SL1344 from water microcosms by ferrioxamine E. Microcosm samples taken at 89 days after inoculation were analyzed by using the LIVE/DEAD BacLight Bacterial Viability kit L-7012 for the presence of live, VNC, and apparently dead cells (green, brownish orange, red, respectively), either directly (open bars) or following incubation in BPW containing ferrioxamine E (solid bars). Three replicate experiments gave essentially the same results, with deviations of means for each cell type of no greater than 5%.
