Fig. 2From: Acceleration of emergence of E. coli antibiotic resistance in a simulated sublethal concentration of copper and tetracycline co-contaminated environmentMutation frequency changes for a polymyxin B (Pol), b chloramphenicol (Chl) and c, d tetracycline (Tet) respectively induced by copper ions (Cu) or tetracycline (Tet) and their co-contaminations. LB-control was without any treatment. H: Strains exposure at high copper ion concentrations; L: Strains exposure at low copper ion concentrations. All experiments were performed in triplicate. All experiments were manipulated in triplicate. Significant differences were tested: * (P < 0.05), ** (P < 0.01) and *** (P < 0.001)Back to article page
