Figure 1

Time course of trials S0, S1, S2, and S3 and corresponding cell-bound zinc after 48 h. Dashed bar indicates incubation in MRS broth; black bar indicates incubation in MRS broth + 10 mmol L⁻¹ ZnSO₄. Values are means from three separate experiments ± SD. Means sharing a common superscript do not differ (𝑃>0.05).
