Cellular responses of Staphylococcus aureus as related to NMR detected water and system mobility, water activity and media formulation

The effect of water on growth and survival of Staphylococcus aureus was investigated using liquid (17O) and solid-state (1H) Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. Different growth media, solute types, and methods of water activity (aw) adjustment (i.e. moisture versus solute variations) wer...
