ATP supplementation increases the stationary survival of bacteria. E. coli K12, Salmonella enterica Serovar Enteritidis (SE) or Salmonella enterica Serovar Typhimurium (ST) was cultured in M9 minimal medium or M9 minimal medium supplemented with 10 μM or 100 μM of ATP. The rate of survival was determined by comparing bacterial CFU/mL after 7 days of incubation to that after 1 day of incubation. The experiment was performed three times and results are from a representative experiment performed in triplicate. Error bars represent standard deviation. * p < 0.05, Student’s t-test.
