Fig. 1

A The biomass of 24 h-old biofilms of P. aeruginosa MPAO1 transposon mutants grown in M9 medium in 96-well plates was quantified by crystal violet staining. Results represent the mean ± SD of two biological repeats with eight technical repeats each. Student’s t-tests were performed with ** equals to P < 0.01 and *** equals to P < 0.001. Tolerance of biofilm cells to B colistin and C gentamicin was assessed by measuring the optical density of the supernatant after the recovery of treated biofilm cells compared to non-treated ones (defined as 100%). Results represent the mean ± SD of two biological repeats (three for arnB and flgE mutants) with four technical repeats each. Student’s t-tests were performed in comparison to the condition without antibiotics for each mutant with * equals to P < 0.05 and *** equals to P < 0.001.
