Fig 5.
Effect of nitroxoline on twitching motility. Strains were stab inoculated through a thin agar layer containing the indicated nitroxoline concentration onto plastic petri dishes, and the hazy zone forming at the interface between agar and polystyrene surface was measured. Results are presented as the mean percentage change ± SD in twitching zone diameter compared to LB agar alone (control, twitching zone taken as 100% ± SD).
