FIG. 2.

Viabilities of L. monocytogenes ΔsigB (solid symbols) and wild-type (WT) (open symbols) cultures that had been grown in a defined medium with limiting glucose (0.04%, wt/vol). The x axis indicates the time following growth cessation in the defined medium. OD₆₀₀ (circles) and viable numbers (squares) were recorded for up to 12 h after the cultures had stopped growing due to carbon limitation. The error bars indicate standard deviations.
