Fig. 3: Induction of motility in E. albertii grown in a chemically defined medium.
From: Hypoosmotic stress induces flagellar biosynthesis and swimming motility in Escherichia albertii
a Bacterial cell numbers after 24 h of incubation in M9 (0.24 osm l−1) and M9 supplemented with essential amino acids (M9E) at 20 °C. Results from two independent experiments are shown. b Effect of non-essential amino acids (NEA) on E. albertii motility. HIPH08472 and HIPH14005 were cultivated in M9E medium supplemented with different non-essential amino acids. The addition of glutamic acid induced motility in both HIPH08472 and HIPH14005 strains. Results from three independent experiments are shown. c Induction of motility in E. albertii by low osmotic pressure. HIPH08472 and HIPH14005 strains were exposed for 24 h to M9E low-salt medium supplemented with xylose so that a range of osmotic pressures was achieved. Results from two independent experiments are shown.
