Exponential-phase cells were sub-cultured, in 300 μl volumes of YNB in 48-well plates, and growth (OD600) was subsequently monitored at 30°C with continuous shaking in a plate reader. Doubling times were determined during the period of exponential growth in the absence or presence of 0.1 mM CrO3, and the percent increase in doubling time attributable to Cr (a measure of Cr sensitivity) was calculated for each strain. The values are the means of three independent experiments ± standard error of the mean.
