How do salts affect growth of P. fluorescens?
• Common Anions and Cations
• Culture Density
• Lag phase
• Biphasic growth
Magnesium has a negative effect as a cation
Inhibits Maximum culture density and casues biphasic growth
Magnesium has a negative effect as a cation
Inhibits maximum culture density and causes biphasic growth
Summary of Conclusions
Culture density independent of salt choice at low concentrations
Magnesium cation salts have a negative effect on culture density
Bromide anion has a negative effect on culture density
Future Directions
• Investigate the biphasic growth observed in MgSO4 and MgCl2 salts
• Calculate ideal concentrations of the different salts
• Test additional salts
• Salt requirements under anaerobic conditions
