The growth capabilities and resistance properties of the tetrose-utilizing isolates on d-erythrose and l-erythrulose. (A–H) The growth curves of each isolate on different concentrations of d-erythrose (A–D) and l-erythrulose (E–H). ΔOD600 represents the difference between the OD600 of inoculated cultures and that of uninoculated medium. All data from five independent cultures are shown. As a comparison, growth curves on the media supplemented with 1 g/L d-glucose are shown (green lines). (I–L) The inhibitory effects of d-erythrose and l-erythrulose on the growth of the tetrose-utilizing isolates. The relative growth rates were determined as noted in Fig. 1. Data are presented as the means of five independent cultures (n = 5). Error bars represent standard deviations.
