Role of Superoxide Reductase FA796 in Oxidative Stress Resistance in Filifactor alocis

摘要

Air sensitivity of wild-type ATCC 35896. , on BHI agar plates (without cysteine), was exposed to air. At the indicated time periods, the subsets of plates were returned to the anaerobic chamber, incubated at 37 °C and colonies were counted after 5–7 days. CFU/mL was determined and percent survival was calculated as the ratio of CFU/ml of the air exposed bacteria versus the unexposed input. The results represent the means of three independent experiments. Error bars represent the standard deviations from the means. Wild-type ATCC 35896 can tolerate atmospheric air exposure up to 2 h with a 100% survival rate.
