Insertion of the gene of a functional CAI in B. abortus 2308W does not increase growth rates. Growth of B. abortus 2308W and its derivative strain carrying B. suis 513 CAI in the genome (B. abortus 2308W Tn7Bs513CAI) were tested under normal atmospheric conditions in Peptone-Glucose. Each point represents the mean ± standard error (error bars are within the size of the symbols) of technical triplicates. The experiment was repeated three times with similar results.
