Figure 1. Analysis of surface behaviors to determine efficacy of Varpa_4680 (wbuB) and Varpa_5900 (pilY1) complementation.

Figure 1

Biofilm levels after 24 h incubation and swarm diameters at 48 h for wt and mutant strains expressing either wbuB (A, B) or pilY1 (C, D) in trans compared to vector controls. 86 = Varpa_4680::Tn5, 223 = Varpa_5900::Tn5. Error was computed as +/−SEM. All p-values were calculated using the student's unpaired T-test. For all panels a = p<0.01 compared to wt+vec, b = p<0.01 compared to 86+vec (A,B) or 223+vec (C,D).
