Fig. 2From: Importance of stress-response genes to the survival of airborne Escherichia coli under different levels of relative humidityThe normalized survival ratio and log reduction in survival of the bacteria at intermediate RH. The normalized survival ratio before (N0) and after 30 min (N30) of aerosolization (left Y-axis) and log reduction in survival (right Y-axis) of the parental strain (BW), ∆rpoS, ∆oxyR and ∆soxR. Temperature: 20 ± 2 °C. Error bars represent the standard deviation of replicates (n = 3). The log reduction of different mutants was statistically analyzed by one-way ANOVA. Grouping was conducted with post-hos test Duncan analysis, and the letters above the bars represent different groupingBack to article page
