From: The Mycobacterium marinum mel2 locus displays similarity to bacterial bioluminescence systems and plays a role in defense against reactive oxygen and nitrogen species

Figure 7

Susceptibility to reactive nitrogen and oxygen species together. Susceptibility of M. marinum wild type as compared to the mel2 mutant that carries an insertion in melF (melF), the mutant carrying a plasmid expressing melF alone (melF::pJDC79) and an integrated single copy plasmid expressing the entire mel2 locus (melF::pJDC75) to H2O2 plus S-nitroso-N-acetyl penicillamine (SNAP). The % survival = (CFU Tx/CFU initial) × 100. Data are the means and standard deviations of assays done in triplicate, representative of three experiments.
