Fig. 1From: Potential mechanisms of attenuation for rifampicin-passaged strains of Flavobacterium psychrophilum Growth curves of F. psychrophilum CSF 259–93 and THC 02–90 parent and passaged strains. Independent triplicates of each strain were grown statically in TYES broth at 16 °C with optical density measurements at 450–580 nm preceded by brief shacking. Abbreviations used: CW - F. psychrophilum CSF 259–93 parent strain, CN and CR – CSF 259–93 passaged 17 times with no and with rifampicin, respectively; B17 – rifampicin attenuated F. psychrophilum CSF 259-93B.17 strain [13]; TW - THC 02–90 parent strain and TN and TR – THC 02–90 passaged for 17 times with and without rifampicin, respectivelyBack to article page
