Fig. 6From: FabR regulates Salmonella biofilm formation via its direct target FabBEffect on biofilm formation of individually overexpressing fabA, fabB and yqfA. The level of biofilm formation at the indicated temperatures is expressed as a percentage of wildtype SL1344 biofilm formation. The data are representative of three independent experiments (n = 3), with at least 4 replicates each. The error bars denote standard deviations between the independent experiments. For each temperature a one-sample t-test was performed to compare the mean biofilm formation of the different strains (expressed as a percentage of wildtype SL1344 biofilm formation) to the wildtype level of 100 %. Significant changes (p-value <0.05) in the level of biofilm formation as compared to the wild type at the same temperature are indicated with an asterix (*)SL1344: S. Typhimurium SL1344 wildtype strain; ∆fabR: S. Typhimurium SL1344 ∆fabR mutant (CMPG5624); SL1344/pFAJ1708-fabA: S. Typhimurium SL1344 overexpressing fabA (pCMPG10118/SL1344); SL1344/pFAJ1708-fabB: S. Typhimurium SL1344 overexpressing fabB (pCMPG10119/SL1344); SL1344/pFAJ1708-yqfA: S. Typhimurium SL1344 overexpressing yqfA (pCMP5553/SL1344)Back to article page
