From: A Recurrent Silent Mutation Implicates fecA in Ethanol Tolerance by Escherichia coli

Fig. 5

Survival curve data demonstrating the effect of fecA mutations on the ethanol tolerance phenotype of E. coli. Panel (a) depicts the performance of strains BW25113 and BW25113 ΔJW4251 (a fecA deletion strain) and Panel (b) depicts the performance of strains bMH33 and bMH34. Strains were grown for 60 min in 16.5% (v/v) ethanol, and viable cell counts were conducted at specific time points during that incubation period. In Panel (b), both cultures were also supplemented with 0.1 mM IPTG. For both panels, the data shown is the average of three technical replicates. Each of the plotted data points are the average of three independent trials. Error bars represent observed maximum and minimum values from all trials
