Membrane peroxide assessment in stressed E. coli BW25113 ΔyqhD. Cells carrying pBAD, pfabA, or pcfa were exposed to the indicated toxicants for 30 min in minimal VB medium and used for determining lipid peroxides as described in Section 2. Error bars represent SD (𝑛=5). Asterisks indicate significant difference, 𝑃<0.05.
