Extended Data Fig. 9. Exogenous cholesterol does not differentially affect growth of BtΔtdkΔ0416 as compared to BtΔtdk.
OD600 of BtΔtdk or BtΔtdkΔ0416 cultures in minimal media supplemented with 1% Tween 80 (to increase Chol solubility) treated with various concentrations of Chol. The highest Chol concentration represents the saturation point for Chol for the culture medium. Values are the mean ± s.d. (n = 3 biologically independent cultures per condition for each concentration).
