Fig. 8. Fold change in mRNA levels of matrix genes in MPAO1 WT and ΔflgE biofilms.

Fig. 8

RNA was extracted from 24 h-old biofilms, grown in the same conditions as Fig. 2, and the expression of rpsL, pelA, pelB, pslA, pslB, and cdrA genes were quantified by qPCR. Expression fold change were normalized according to the expression of the housekeeping gene rpsL in MPAO1 WT (defined as 1) and in ΔflgE biofilms. Results represent the mean ± SD of three measurements done on two independent RNA extractions. Student’s t-tests were performed in comparison to the mRNA levels in MPAO1 WT with ***P < 0.001. All primers used are described in Table S1.
