Impact of <i>luxI</i> deletion on growth of <i>Vibrio fischeri</i> in isolation.

<p>Batch culture growth of <i>V. fischeri</i> wild type strain MJ1 (circles) and <i>luxI</i> deficient mutant strain MJ211 (squares) in the absence (A) and presence (B) of 5 µM <i>N</i>-3-oxohexanoyl-L-homoserine lactone. Values presented are averages of triplicate cultures. Error bars represent standard deviation. Small statistically significant differences were late in the logarithmic phase of growth.
