FIG. 3.
Effect of SN3J6 on bacterial adhesion at 20°C. Vibrio sp. D01 and Paracoccus sp. 4M6 were incubated for 2 h under static conditions in flow cell channels in the presence or absence of SN3J6. CLSM images of attached bacteria were recorded, and the glass surfaces covered by attached bacteria were calculated by using Image Tool software and normalized relative to the values obtained in the absence of SN3J6, which were set to 100%. Each experiment was performed twice, and the bacterial attachment was determined for eight different sites of each glass slide. The bars indicate the standard deviations, which were too small to be visible in the absence of SN3J6.
