  1. Cultures were grown to exponential phase without shaking, then treated with 0.002% arabinose for 2.5 h under either aerobic or low oxygen conditions before serial dilution and plating on LB plates with antibiotics and 2% glucose. Survival ratio was determined by calculating the ratio of the viable colony counts obtained from the induced cultures versus the viable counts from non-induced culture. The results represent the average and standard errors from at least three experiments
