Growth phenotypes of strains ORCB001 and ORCB002 when grown in increasing amounts of added NaCl. NaCl was added to make total initial (calculated) media osmolarities of a 200 mOsm/L, b 300 mOsm/L, and c 400 mOsm/L. Strain JWCB005 is the genetic parent strain to both single-gene deletion strains. Growth assays were done in 50 mL culture volumes in 135 mL serum bottles containing a headspace of 100% N₂
