Figure 2: AmiE involvement in P. aeruginosa motility.
From: The aliphatic amidase AmiE is involved in regulation of Pseudomonas aeruginosa virulence
(A) Pictures show swarming motilities of P. aeruginosa PA14 WT (control), PA14 ΔamiE mutant strain, PA14 strain harboring the empty vector (PA14 EV), and PA14 AmiE over-producing strain (AmiE+) after 18 h at 37 °C. (B) Amounts of rhamnolipids produced by P. aeruginosa AmiE+ relative to the production by the control P. aeruginosa PA14 EV (dotted line). Data are the mean of three independent experiments. (C) Pictures show twitching motilities of P. aeruginosa strains after 16 h at 37 °C. Graphs show diameter of colonies spread by twitching motility in comparison with the wild type strain. (D) Pictures show swimming motilities of P. aeruginosa strains after 16 h at 37 °C. Graphs show diameter of colonies spread by swimming motility in comparison with the wild type strain. All results for motilities are representative of four independent experiments each performed in triplicate. ★★★P < 0.001; NS: Not significantly different.
