Figure 8From: Characterization of fatty acid modifying enzyme activity in staphylococcal mastitis isolates and other bacteriaS. hyicus produces low FAME activity over 24 h. S. hyicus isolates were assayed for FAME activity/log CFU over 24 h. CFUs were generally the same among the strains with the beginning of stationary phase indicated by the arrow. Results are the average of three experiments. Vertical bars represent standard error of the observation; if no bar is apparent the standard error is smaller than the symbol. Both isolates had detectable activity at 4 h (P < 0.05).Back to article page
