Fig. 8From: Construction of synthetic anti-fouling consortia: fouling control effects and polysaccharide degradation mechanisms(a) The extracellular secretions of SAC prevent the biofilm formation of P. aeruginosa (PAO1). (b) The extracellular secretions of SAC disrupt the existing biofilm of PAO1. Crystal violet (CV) staining was used for biofilm quantification. Each data implies the mean from independent assays of n = 5 microtiter plate wells. Error bars denote SEM. ** P < 0.01, *** P < 0.001Back to article page
