Effects of Arsenite Resistance on the Growth and Functional Gene Expression of Leptospirillum ferriphilum and Acidithiobacillus thiooxidans in Pure Culture and Coculture

Figure 7

Arsenic resistance gene expression of At. thiooxidans A01 in pure culture and coculture upon 300 mM As(III) shock at 10, 30, 60, and 120 minutes determined by real-time PCR: (a) 10 min; (b) 30 min; (c) 60 min; (d) 120 min. The error bars indicate the standard deviation in replicate samples () and the value indicates the statistical significance between pure and coculture (; ).
