Figure 6: Effects of different treatments of bacteria on phiAxp-1 adsorption.
From: Characterization of a novel Achromobacter xylosoxidans specific siphoviruse: phiAxp-1
The results are shown as residual PFU percentages. (A) Effect of proteinase K treatment on the adsorption of phiAxp-1 to A. xylosoxidans strain A22732. (B) Effect of periodate treatment on the adsorption of phiAxp-1 to A. xylosoxidans strain A22732. The control (LB and “A22732 + acetate”), untreated strain (A22732), and treatment (“A22732 + ProtK” for proteinase K treatment and “A22732 + IO4−” for periodate treatment) groups were tested for adsorption, as indicated in the x-axes. Error bars denote statistical variations. Significance was determined by a Student’s t test for comparison between the treated and the untreated groups. *P 0.05.
