Transcriptome Analysis of the Phytobacterium Xylella fastidiosa Growing under Xylem-Based Chemical Conditions
Figure 3
Evaluation of respiratory rates in Xylella fastidiosa cells growing in PW and 3G10R. X. fastidiosa cells were grown into middle exponential phase in PW and subsequently transferred (in a 1 : 20 proportion) into fresh PW and 3G10R cultures. Bacterial growth in both cultures was monitored through measurements and aliquots were taken from each culture to evaluate consumption with the aid of an oxygraph in intact cells. Respiratory rate for each culture was calculated as the ratio between consumption and the respective value obtained at each time point. Measurements were taken until day 7 (in PW) and day 13 (in 3G10R). Experiments were performed in triplicate and graphic shows the average values and their respective standard deviations.
