Susceptibility of L. biflexa strains to ROS. (A) WT or ΔbatABD strains were exposed to varying concentrations of either H2O2 (left panel) or to the more stable organoperoxide, tert-Butyl hydroperoxide (right panel) and viability determined by counting CFUs after plating. (B) Effect of paraquat concentrations on L. biflexa. Twenty four hours after exposure to varying concentrations of the superoxide generator paraquat, viability was assessed by counting motile spirochetes using darkfield microscopy. One-way ANOVA was used to determine significant differences between treated and untreated samples (* denotes P value < 0.05, *** denotes P value < 0.0001). Values represent the mean ± the standard error.
