Fig. 2. Swarming of Proteus over polymer-coated catheter segments.

Fig. 2.

(A) Schematic depiction of the bridge swarming assay. (B) dsRed-tagged Proteus was inoculated on one side of the bridge linking two unconnected LB agar blocks and the fluorescence intensity (as radiance) on the lower agar block quantified via fluorescence imaging after incubation for 16 hours. Error bars are equal to ± 1 SD for at least three independent replicates. (C) Top: Fluorescence images of the catheter bridge assays. Bottom: Monomer structures corresponding to each fluorescence image. Monomers were tricyclodecane-dimethanol diacrylate (tCdMdA), phenyl methacrylate (PhMA), glycerol 1,3-diglycerolate diacrylate (GDGDA), bisphenol A propoxylate glycerolate diacrylate (BPAPGDA), dihydroxypropyl acrylate (DHPA), 2,2-dimethyl dioxolan-4-yl methyl acrylate (DMDA), tridecafluoro-2-hydroxynonyl acrylate (TDFHNA), and phenoxypropyl diacrylate (PhoPDA).
