Fig. 1From: Metabolism, ATP production and biofilm generation by Staphylococcus epidermidis in either respiratory or fermentative conditionsRate of oxygen consumption by S. epidermidis in the presence of different respiratory substrates. Experimental conditions: 10 mM HEPES (pH 7.4). As indicated, substrates were: L: 10 mM lactate; G: 40 mM glucose or E: 33 mM ethanol. Cells were grown at different [O2] as follows: aerobic (empty bars), microaerobic (gray bars) and anaerobic (black bars)Back to article page
