Figure 6.
Overall effect of AHLs on various biological processes of peanut-nodulating strains.
Graphic obtained from PCA using the software InfoStat version 2.0. Solid diamonds indicate various combinations of AHL type (C10: 3OC10; C12: 3OC12; C14: 3OC14) and concentration (low: 5 μM; medium: 10 μM; high: 20 μM). Open circles indicate the biological variables measured for each strain: motility (Mot), biofilm formation ability (Biof), and cell aggregation (Agg). The angles formed between the straight lines indicate the degree of correlation between variables. PC1: Principal Component 1; PC2: Principal Component 2.
