Heat-treatment and size fractionation of S. aureus cell-free supernatants upon P. aeruginosa swimming and swarming motility. Swimming and swarming motilities of the select P. aeruginosa isolates were assessed following an overnight incubation on swimming and swarming agar plates. S. aureus only motility values were taken from Fig. 6. WS: whole supernatant fractions of S. aureus culture supernatant were taken from Fig. 6. Plates were supplemented with a 1:100 dilution of S. aureus culture supernatant fractions (>3 or <3 kDa), with select fractions also being subject to heat-treatment. >3: greater than 3 kDa, >3HI: greater than 3 kDa heat-inactivated, <3:less than 3 kDa, <3HI: less than 3 kDa heat-inactivated. Data are presented as mean ± S.D from two independent experiments (N = 2) each performed in duplicate. Statistical differences were determined using one-way ANOVA with Dunnett’s post-hoc (versus WS: whole supernatant only).
