In vitro growth analysis of WT, ∆clpA and ∆clpB strains of S. Typhimurium. Isolated colonies of different strains were inoculated and grown in LB broth for overnight at 37 °C, 180 rpm. Overnight cultures were then diluted (at 1:100) in fresh medium. The optical densities were measured at 600 nm at an interval of one h. Experiment was performed two times. Data are presented as mean ± S.D. of three replicates.
