Effects of Lactobacillus EPS on the biofilms of lactobacilli assessed by CV staining. A Heatmap of the activity of EPS-BC1, EPS-BC4, EPS-BC5, EPS-BC9, EPS-BC12, and EPS-BC14 at three concentrations (0.1, 0.5, and 1 mg/mL) on the formation of biofilms of L. crispatus (BC1, BC3, BC4, BC5), L. gasseri (BC9, BC10, BC12, BC14) and L. vaginalis (BC16, BC17). Results are reported in percentage with respect to control (100%) (n = 3). B Violin plot of the overall activity of EPS-LC and EPS-LG versus biofilms of lactobacilli grouped by species (L. crispatus, LC; L. gasseri, LG; L. vaginalis, LV). Solid and dotted lines represent median and quartiles, respectively. * p < 0.033; *** p < 0.001 (ANOVA)
