Biofilm formation of Ea1189, Ea1189Δ hfq , and Ea1189Δ arcZ . (A) Biofilm formation of Ea1189, Ea1189Δhfq, Ea1189ΔarcZ, and Ea1189ΔarcZ carrying complementation plasmid pMLarcZ on glass cover slips. Bacterial strains were incubated with glass cover slips in static cultures of 0.5X LB broth. The biofilm formed on the cover slips was stained with crystal violet, and quantified by measuring light absorbance at OD600. Asterisks indicate significant difference (P < 0.05) compared to Ea1189. (B) Biofilm formation and cell attachment of Ea1189, Ea1189Δhfq, and Ea1189ΔarcZ on gold grid observed by scanning electron microsope. Images were taken at X1100 magnification.
