Summary of mucus pore size, as well as particle Deff and microbe speed through mucus exposed to MB Control, CMC, and Tween. Pore size is represented as median ± interquartile range (IQR).
| MB Control | CMC | Tween 80 | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pore Size [Median ± IQR] | 109.45 ± 112.60 | 59.3 ± 47.53 | 88.24 ± 82.28 | |
| Particle Deff [Avg ± STDEV (STDErr)] | Amine | 0.014 ± 0.048 (0.00048) | 0.00047 ± 0.0029 (0.0000572 | 0.0131 ± 0.0367 (0.00047) |
| Carboxyl | 0.042 ± 0.092 (0.00139) | 0.0084 ± 0.045 (0.00082) | 0.023 ± 0.050 (0.00065) | |
| PEG | 0.067 ± 0.121 (0.0013) | 0.017 ± 0.056 (0.00094) | 0.046 ± 0.086 (0.0020) | |
| Microbe Speed [Median ± STDEV] | Dosed to MB | 11.84 ± 5.76 | 4.45 ± 3.80 | 19.22 ± 9.87 |
| Dosed to Mucus | 5.34 ± 4.57 | 4.33 ± 5.13 | 5.91 ± 7.23 | |
Particle Deff is represented as an average ± standard deviation (STDEV) and standard error (STDErr). Microbe speed is represented as median ± STDEV.
