Quantification of biofilm formation by the RL2975 (17B) mutant
| Strain | Crystal violet staining* (OD550nm) | Viable cell count* (log10 CFU peg–1) | MTS reduction assay* (OD490nm) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3841 | 0.157±0.113 | 4.87±0.34 | 1.92±1.03 |
| 17B | 0.036±0.012** | 3.15±0.78** | 0.381±0.099** |
Results presented are the average (±SD) of 24 replicates (48 replicates for the viable cell count).
Difference between the wild type and the mutant strains is statistically significant at a P-value < 0.001 (Student's t-test).
