Fig. 5From: Conditionally essential genes for survival during starvation in Enterococcus faecium E745Phenotypic analysis of usp and exuR deletion mutants. Data for usp and exuR deletion mutants are shown in panel a and b, respectively, and represent three biologically independent experiments. All strains were incubated in PBS at 20 °C for up to 7 days. * indicates a statistical difference (P < 0.05) between survival of E. faecium E745 and Δusp and Δusp::pEF25 at day 7, as determined by one way ANOVA. Error bars show the standard deviation of data and can be obscured by the symbolBack to article page
