Figure 3. Wild-type and rugose biofilms deform soft-substrates.

(A) Biofilm diameter-dependence of maximum deformation for rugose and smooth variants of P. aeruginosa. (B) Smooth variant of V. cholerae A1552 deforms hydrogels when growing in M9 medium, but not in LB. (C) Biofilm diameter-dependence of maximum deformation for rugose and smooth variants of V. cholerae. Data points correspond to biofilms grown in two microfluidic chambers for PAO1 Rg, PAO1 WT and Vc WT and to biofilms grown in one microfluidic chamber for Vc Rg. E = 38 kPa. Scale bars: 20 µm.

Figure 3—figure supplement 1.

Data points correspond to different biofilms grown in two microfluidic chambers for A1552 and to biofilms grown in one microfluidic chamber for C6706 and N16961.
