Growth curves of Pseudomonas putida mt-2 cultivated in the two different experimental setups. a Growth inhibition in liquid cultures with mineral medium and increasing concentrations of sodium chloride. b Growth inhibition on 2% agar in 6-well-plates with mineral medium and increasing concentrations of sodium chloride. Photographs of the cultures were taken after 5 h incubation for planktonic and after 32 h for agar-grown cells
