PrtA influences eDNA production and cell proliferation.
(a) Quantification of extracellular DNA present on biofilm formed by X. fastidiosa prtA− mutant and wild type after seven days in broth culture. Average values and standard deviations of three independent experiments are plotted (*p-value < 0.05, two-tailed T-test). (b) Accumulation of biomass in broth cultures measured by absorbance at 600 nm. (c) Evaluation of the number of colony-forming units (CFU) over eight days of culturing.
