Phenotypical array characterization of clinical strains.

<p>Graphics show the growth of the studied <i>P</i>. <i>putida</i> clinical strains and KT2440 in the presence of heavy metals <b>(A)</b>; oxidative and other stressors <b>(B)</b>; DNA intermediates as the only nitrogen source <b>(C)</b>; amino acids <b>(D)</b> or fatty acid <b>(E)</b> as the only carbon source; and cysteine (cys) as the only sulfur (S), nitrogen (N), carbon (C) or carbon+nitrogen source (C+N). Blue bars, HB13667; red bars, H8234; green bars, HB3267 and white bars, KT2440. Error bars indicate standard deviation from three experimental repetitions. In parentheses concentration of stressor used, if concentration is not indicated means this was 5 mM. HB4184 was not included in this study because it forms lumps and thick biofilms in these culture conditions.
