RbmB modulates rugose colony development and biofilm formation. (A) Colony morphologies of the rugose variant and RΔrbmB. (B) CLSM images of the top-down views (large panels) and orthogonal views (side panels) of biofilms formed by the rugose variant and RΔrbmB in a flow cell system after 24 h of incubation. Bars, 40 μm. (C) Quantitative analysis of biofilm formation by the rugose variant and RΔrbmB after 8 h of growth at 30°C under static conditions. Error bars represent standard deviations. (D) Expression of the vpsA::lacZ and vpsL::lacZ fusion genes in the rugose variant and RΔrbmB grown at 30°C to the mid-exponential growth phase. Error bars represent standard deviations.
