Monounsaturated Fatty Acids Are Substrates for Aldehyde Generation in Tellurite-Exposed Escherichia coli

Figure 4

Aldehyde generation in E. coli exposed to oxidative stress. E. coli cells containing pBAD, pfabA, or pcfa were exposed to the indicated toxicants for 30 min in VB medium and used for determining aldehyde levels as described in Section 2. Error bars represent SD (𝑛=5). Asterisks indicate significant difference, 𝑃<0.05.
