Bactericidal effect of Hx treatment at concentrations of 10 and 20 mM on <i>Pst</i> DC3000.

<p>Long-term effect of Hx in LB medium (A). Short-term effect of Hx in minimal medium (B). The charts illustrate the percentage of live cells, which was determined using a Live/Dead Bacterial Viability Kit. The images show the viable (green) and dead (red) cells and illustrated that aggregates are formed after exposure to Hx concentrations of 10 mM and 20 mM only in the long-term experiments (C.2, C.3).
