Figure 2. The biofilm disruption by Ficin.

S. aureus (A) and S. epidermidis (B) were grown in BM broth for 72 h to form a rigid biofilm, the mature biofilms were gently washed by BM and a fresh BM broth was loaded. Ficin was added until final concentrations of 10, 100 or 1000 μg/ml and incubation was followed for 24 h. The residual biofilms were quantified by crystal-violet staining.
