Fig. 6From: Analyses of energy metabolism and stress defence provide insights into Campylobacter concisus growth and pathogenicityThe effects of dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO) on C. concisus growth. C. concisus strains P2CDO4, H17O-S1, and P26UCO-S2 were cultured on HBA plates or HBA plates supplemented with 0.2% DMSO. DMSO enhanced the growth of all three C. concisus strains being tested. The levels of growth of C. concisus strains P2CDO4, H17O-S1, and P26UCO-S2 on HBA plates containing DMSO were 4 ± 0.4, 3 ± 0.4, and 18 ± 1.1 folds of those on HBA plates without DMSO, in which the differences were statistically significant. *Indicates statistical significance. **P < 0.01. ***P < 0.001Back to article page
