Figure 4

Growth and maintenance of a pH gradient in ampicillin treated L. lactis MG1363. We diluted stationary L. lactis MG1363_GFP cells in medium with ampicillin and measured their ability to grow in liquid medium and on agar plates (shown as CFUs/mL) and their ability to maintain a pH gradient in time (shown as highly fluorescent cells/mL). LIVE/DEAD staining was used to determine the amount of L. lactis MG1363 cells that have an intact membrane after ampicillin exposure (shown as live-stained cells/mL). Some error bars (SD, n = 3) are too small to be visible.
