Unified Theory of Bacterial Sialometabolism: How and Why Bacteria Metabolize Host Sialic Acids

<table>Auxanographic analysis of Neu5Ac utilization by <i>S. typhimurium nanT</i> and <i>nanV</i>  mutants. The indicated strains were grown in minimal medium with glycerol as sole carbon source and plated in top agar with no carbon source and with or without 100 mM sodium chloride. Black rectangles indicate areas where Neu5Ac was added, with growth shown by the hazy zones or individual colonies.</table>
