Fig. 2: 3D morphology and motility of knock out mutants.

A Sketch of parental (wt) E.coli strain (not to scale). The sketched elements include the genome, the fluorescence-carrying plasmid and the extracellular structures: flagella (red), antigen 43 (beige), type I pili (dark green), curli fimbriae (light green), and colanic acid (purple). B Morphology of mutant 3D colonies. Examples of pseudo-colored fluorescent colonies (maximum intensity projections) grown in M63 + glu with 0.3% agarose. Scale bar corresponds to 200 μm and color coding is the same as in (A). Swimming assay in low density agarose. Diameters of expansion zones after 24 h of incubation vs. agarose concentrations in LB (C) and M63 + glu (D).
