Fig. 5From: Comparative genomic and metabolic analysis of three Lactobacillus paracasei cheese isolates reveals considerable genomic differences in strains from the same nicheHeavy metal resistance. Growth of three Lactobacillus paracasei strains in MRS supplemented with corresponding heavy metal salt. Strains were inoculated (1 % (w/v)) in MRS supplemented with (a) CdCl2 and (b) Na2AsO4, and incubated over 48 h at 30°C. Bars represent rates between growth in the presence and absence of heavy metal salt. Bars for the same heavy metal salt concentration sharing the same asterix symbol show no statistical difference in growth (P>0.05), after mean comparison by performing One-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) followed by Least Significant Test (LSD).
