E. coli plasma survival. (A) Plasma resistance of gene-deletion or over-expression strains induced with IPTG [µM] at different concentrations. The asterisk indicates a survival rate of 0. Western blot analyses were conducted for quantification of the over-expression product shown by orange line graphs. An anti His6 antibody conjugated to a fluorophore was used for detection. (B) E. coli wild type was incubated with paraquat prior plasma treatment to allow for pre-adaptation. ev: empty vector pCA24N. Averages and standard deviations of three biological replicates are shown.
