Effects of Lactobacillus EPS on the biofilms of pathogens assessed by MTT assay. 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 E. coli (DSM1900, DSM18039), S. aureus (DSM2569, SO88), S. lugdunensis BC102, E. faecalis BC101, E. faecium BC105, S. agalactiae SO104, C. albicans SO1 and C. glabrata SO17. Results are reported in percentage with respect to control (100%) (n = 3). B Boxplot of the anti-biofilm activity exerted by EPS-LC and EPS-LG at three concentrations. Each box represents the interquartile range (25–75th percentile). Lines within the boxes indicate the median values of the samples. The extremes of the bars indicate the minimum and the maximum value, respectively. *** p < 0.001 (ANOVA)
