Mathematical models of the biofilm build-up during exponential phase.
| Strain and preculture | Exponential phase slope | ROI doubling time | R2 |
|---|---|---|---|
| UTI89wt in LB | e2.339t | 18 min | 0.991 |
| UTI89wt in AU | e0.768t | 54 min | 0.997 |
| UTI89ΔfimH in LB | e0.128t | 325 min | 0.980 |
Slopes and the coefficient of determination (R2) of best fit lines are shown. Time (t) is measured in hours. LB, Luria Broth; AU, artificial urine; ROI, region of interest.
