a Induction of motility by reducing NaCl concentration. HIPH08472 and HIPH14005 were cultured for 24 h in ordinary TSB or in several variants of this culture medium containing reduced concentrations of each component. TP trypticase peptone, Soy soybean meal. Results from two independent experiments are shown. b Inhibition of motility by high osmotic pressure. HIPH14005 was cultured in media with different osmolarities, achieved by the addition of NaCl, KCl, MgSO4, or xylose to 1/10TSB. The proportions of swimming cells decreased as osmotic pressure increased, irrespective of the substance added. Results from two independent experiments are shown.
