(A) The percentage of tethered vs. total cells of DK1622 (Wt), DK3088 (stk) or SW504 (ΔdifA) were calculated on polystyrene surfaces in 1% methylcellulose. The means ± SD are plotted, Student’s t-test was employed for statistical analysis and **P < 0.01. (B) Quantitative analysis (grey columns) of EPS production of strain DK1622, DK3088 and SW504. Values for all strains were normalized to the wild-type DK1622. Attachment percentages (black columns) of DK1622, DK3088 and SW504 cells on a polystyrene surface in 1% methylcellulose were measured with the cell adhesion assay described in the Materials and Methods. The data represent triplicate experiments, and the means ± SD are plotted.
