Cadmium quantification inside minicells and rod cells. A Quantification of relative fluorescence intensity normalized by area of minicells and rod cells from ΔminC strain (n = 30). B Quantification of relative fluorescence intensity normalized by area of minicells and rod cells from ΔminCDE strain (n = 30). C Quantification of cadmium content of minicells and rod cells from ΔminC strain, normalized by mean volume. D Quantification of cadmium content of minicells and rod cells from ΔminCDE strain, normalized by mean volume. Results are expressed from three independent measurements. Statistical analysis was performed by an unpaired two-sided t-test. ***p < 0.001 ****p < 0.0001
