Extended Data Fig. 7: Control experiments for coordinated lifestyle transition and amylase synthesis.
a-b, Quantification of the biofilm thickness and amylase activity of the amylase-encoding strain, which carries the plasmid IS5-Zn-amy-prob in the constant presence (a) and absence (b) of zinc. c-f, Quantification of the biofilm thickness and amylase activity of the strain carrying the plasmid P45-Zn-amy in four different zinc-changing environments. Experimental data are presented as mean ± s.d. from 3 independent experiments.
