Role of MDP1 in the protection against ROS. Oxidative stress sensitivity assay for WT, MDP1-KO, and COMP M. smegmatis strains by analysis on agar soaked with H2O2 or menadione (Vitamin K3). (a) Plates showing growth inhibition zones. (b) Diameters of inhibition zones measured in mm. Data are shown as means of triplicate experiments. ANOVA was used to analyze the data and P-values < 0.01 (indicated by **) were considered significant.
