Growth phenotypes of N. meningitidis MC58 and α522 wild-type and mutant strains. a In vitro growth phenotypes. Growth as quantified by the optical density (OD600nm) is given on the ordinate and the time in hours on the abscissa. b Ex vivo growth phenotypes. The number of colony forming units for each time point (N(t)) relative to the initial number (N(0)) is given on the ordinate and the time in minutes on the abscissa. For each strain and condition the respective growth curves are coded as indicated in the insert in each panel, and the genotypes of the respective strains compared are shown along with the corresponding growth curves. In each experiment rich medium (PPM+) was used as growth control. The arrow at the top of panel b indicates the time when total RNA was extracted for microarray analysis
