From: Model-driven design allows growth of Mycoplasma pneumoniae on serum-free media

pneumoniae strain M129 cell growth using the serum-free vB13 medium. a Growth curve analysis determined by metabolic growth index (430/560 absorbance rate) comparing cell growth in a Hayflick rich medium (HF) (black) with cell growth in vB13 (red), vB13 without phosphatidylcholine (PC) (purple), vB13 without sphingomyelin (SPM) (blue) and vB13 without both phospholipids (green). b Protein biomass measurement at 96 h, corresponding to the end of the growth curve shown in panel A. Data represent the mean of two replicates and error bars the standard deviation.
