Fig. 1

The type 4 pilus (T4P) assembly complex is involved in deposition to the extracellular milieu of biofilm inhibitor(s), which dictate transcription of the ebfG-operon. Low and high abundance of transcripts of this operon are indicated by thin and thick arrows, respectively. FM fresh medium, CM conditioned medium.
