Fig. 3: Flocculation efficiency of ΔPS124.

a Flocculation efficiency of TD1.0 and ΔPS124 in 60MMG medium containing 1 M NaCl. b Flocculation efficiency of ΔPS124 cultured in 60MMG medium and resuspended in different concentrations of NaCl solution (0, 0.02, 0.1, 0.2, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.8, 1.0 M). Data are shown from three technical replications. Error bars represent SD (n = 3). TD1.0, H. bluephagenesis TD1.0; ΔPS124, H. bluephagenesis TD1.0 with deletion of PS1, PS2, and PS4 gene clusters.
