Effect of cinnamaldehyde on Vibrio spp. starvation response. The cells were allowed to starve in the presence (horizontal striped bars = Vibrio vulnificus; vertical striped bars = Vibrio anguillarum) and absence (black bars = Vibrio vulnificus; white bars = Vibrio anguillarum) of cinnamaldehyde. The number of CFU/ml was determined after 24 h and 48 h on TSA plates containing 2% NaCl. Data are presented as a percentage of the initial count. Error bars represent standard deviations.
