Stimulation of biofilm formation by FmtAΔ27 in S. aureus RN4220. (A) Detection of biofilm formation of S. aureus RN4220 plates in the presence of various concentrations of FmtAΔ27 following 24 h of growth in polystyrene flat-bottomed tissue culture plates. (B) Quantification (A562) of biofilm growth with various concentrations of FmtAΔ27. Data represent the averages of the results of at least three independent experiments. Error bars indicate standard deviations. (C) Detection of biofilm formation of S. aureus wild-type strain (WT) and ΔtarO mutant strain (ΔtarO) in the presence of 0.2 μM FmtAΔ27 after 24 h of growth in polystyrene flat-bottomed tissue culture plates.
