Fig 3. Effect of transformation with sesC and sesK on biofilm formation by non-biofilm-forming 8325 ica::tet mutant.

Fig 3

Transformation of this non-biofilm-forming mutant with sesC restored its biofilm formation and converted it to protein-mediated biofilm-forming strain that cannot form biofilm in the presence of NaCl and is dispersed by PK but not SM. Transformation with sesK had no effect. Mutation of the ica in PIA-independent biofilm-forming BH1CC strain had no effect on its biofilm formation. (SM: sodium metaperiodate, PK: proteinase K; error bars mean standard deviation)
