The Role of the Exo-Xis Region in Oxidative Stress-Mediated Induction of Shiga Toxin-Converting Prophages
Figure 2
Lytic development of bacteriophages (a) and (b), either wild-type (open symbols) or Δexo-xis (closed symbols), after induction of lysogenic E. coli MG1655 with UV irradiation (50 J/m2, circles) or hydrogen peroxide (1 mM, triangles). The presented results are mean values from 3 independent experiments (biological samples), with error bars indicating SD. Statistically significant differences ( in t-test) between wild-type and Δexo-xis phages were found at times 270, 300, and 360 min of experiments with hydrogen peroxide and at 270, 300, 330, and 360 min of experiments with UV for and at times 120, 240, 270, 300, 330, and 360 min of experiments with hydrogen peroxide and at 270, 300, 330, and 360 min of experiments with UV for .
