In addition to performing the experiments described here, we used the same approach with Escherichia coli K-12 cultures
(gram-negative bacteria, GC content 50.78%), Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans ATCC 23270 cultures (gram-negative, GC content 58.77%), and Candida albicans colonies (yeast, GC content 33.51%) and obtained satisfactory results (data not shown), suggesting that similar outcomes could be obtained with other microorganisms.
