Fig. 2: Nitrate and DMSO reduction capacity of S. algae strains.
From: Reduction of alternative electron acceptors drives biofilm formation in Shewanella algae

a Biofilm induction is not related to the ability of the strains to utilize the supplemented compound, as indicated by a qualitative nitrate reduction test performed for all 21 strains, showing nitrite production as indicated by the formation of a pink complex. Uninoculated MB medium supplemented with 35 mM nitrate was used as blank. b Evolutionary history of DmsA orthologs inferred by using the Maximum Likelihood method and Whelan and Goldman model. Bootstrap support values are indicated in the nodes of the phylogenetic reconstruction.
