Aldehyde production in E. coli BW25113 ΔyqhD. (a) Representative chromatogram of the aldehyde eluting at ~16 min. Octanal was used as an internal standard (peak at 20 min). (b) 16 min eluting aldehyde species variation. Cells were exposed to the indicated toxicants for 30 min in minimal VB medium and used for determining aldehyde levels as described in Section 2. Error bars represent SD ( ). Asterisks indicate significant difference, .
