Optimisation of PMA methodology. Pure planktonic cultures were subjected to heat- and CPC-killing conditions and treated with 100 μM PMA. Amount of live cells (qPCR-PMA) was subtracted from the total amount of cells (qPCR) to obtain the number of dead cells (Δlog10 cells). Bars indicate the mean values in the negative control (empty bars), heat-killed cells (striped bars) and CPC-killed cells (grey bars).
