Fig. 2From: Reversible bacterial immobilization based on the salt-dependent adhesion of the bacterionanofiber protein AtaAEffect of ionic strength on the adhesion of bacterial cells to material surfaces. a Adhesion of Tol 5 cells as a function of ionic strength. Tol 5 cells adhering to wells of a PS or a glass 96-well plate were quantified by crystal violet staining. b Adhesion of ADP1 and derivative cells as a function of ionic strength. ADP1 wild-type and ADP1 (pAtaA) cells adhering to the wells of a PS or a glass 96-well plate were quantified by crystal violet staining. Data are expressed as mean ± SEM (n = 3)Back to article page
