Figure 1From: Deleting multiple lytic genes enhances biomass yield and production of recombinant proteins by Bacillus subtilis Biomass yields of single lytic-gene deletion mutants. (a) OD600 of cultures of wild-type and single-deletion mutants: ■ B. subtilis 168 (Wild-type), ◆ LM1, ▲LM2, ★ LM3, ▼ LM4, ●LM5. (b) 12-h viable cell numbers: 1 Wild-type, 2 LM1, 3 LM2, 4 LM3, 5 LM4, 6 LM5. The data presented represent the mean and standard deviation (SD) of triplicate measurements of three different colonies of the same genotype for each mutant.Back to article page
