Antioxidants mitigate the toxic effect of CM.
(A) The antioxidants glutathione (glut) and N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) alleviated the harmful effect of CM. Inset depicts assessment of viability by 'spotting' 5 µl of undiluted cultures onto fresh solid growth medium. (B) The catalase mutant strain, KatΩ, was highly sensitive to CM.
