1. E. coli CFT073 nonquiescence on glycerol, ribose, and xylose plates.
E. coli CFT073 nonquiescence on glycerol, ribose, and xylose plates. Glucose, glycerol, ribose, and xylose plates (0.2% each) were seeded with 105 CFU of E. coli CFT073 grown overnight in liquid M9 minimal medium containing their respective sugars (0.4%). Sixty minutes after seeding the plates, a colony of E. coli MG1655, grown on a glucose plate, was transferred to a glucose plate, using a toothpick. Plates were incubated at 37°C for 24 h. (A) Glycerol; (B) ribose; (C) xylose; (D) glucose.
