Figure 1

Survival of bacterial cells in the brines. Figure 1A1, 1B1: time series plate count quantification of different strains incubated in the brine of isolation, i.e. L'Atalante, Bannock, Urania (A1) and Discovery (B1). Note that the x-axis scale in B1 is in minutes, while in A1 is in days. Figure 1A2, 1B2: time series measurement of the optical density (OD600) of the strains incubated in the brines of L'Atalante, Bannock, Urania (A2) and Discovery (B2). Error bars are within the range of 0.3–71% of each value.
