Bacterial stress tolerance and biofilm formation. (A) Growth kinetics of wild-type strain U112 and its derivatives in TSB with or without 2% NaCl. The values represent the means ± SD (n = 3) from one of the three independent experiments. (B) Biofilm formation by wild-type strain U112 and its derivatives in TSB in 96-well plates. Results are shown as OD570/OD600. The values were the means ± SD of the results from triplicate samples as compared with those of the ΔgreA mutant. The experiment was repeated twice. Statistical significance was determined by one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) test. **p < 0.01 and ***p < 0.001.
