Figure 1. Phenotypic characterization of the P. aeruginosa strains.

Figure 1.

(A) Schematic depiction of the mono-flagellated, fully motile PA14 wild-type phenotype and three isogenic mutants which are non-motile due to the lack of flagella (ΔfliC), non-assembled flagellin (ΔflgK), or the lack of flagellar rotation (ΔmotABCD). (B) Representative pictures of the individual P. aeruginosa motility variants analyzed by scanning electron microscopy. (C) Swimming motility assessed on semisolid agar after 16 hr. Mean ± standard deviation is displayed of 16 biological replicates from two independent experiments. ***p<0.001, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) (post-hoc test: Dunnett).
