Figure 7. Role of NDT80 in formation of pheromone-stimulated biofilms.

Figure 7

White cells lacking NDT80 formed hyper-biofilms that contained increased numbers of adherent cells and were difficult to remove from the plate. Overexpression of cell wall degrading genes, CHT3 or SUN41, decreased hyper-biofilm formation in the ndt80 background. Each data point is the mean ± SD from two independent experiments with at least three replicates. “*” represents P<0.001 for WT v. Δndt80. “#” represents P<0.05 for Δndt80 v. Δndt80 AB, Δndt80 v. Δndt80+Act1-CHT3, and Δndt80 v. Δndt80+Act1-SUN41. (WT: RBY717; Δndt80: RBY520; NDT80 AB: CAY3593; Δndt80-Act1-CHT3: CAY3818; Δndt80-Act1-SUN41: CAY3816).
