Extended Data Fig. 1: Additional characterization of biofilm matrix proteins.

a, Plasmid for constitutive expression of the biofilm matrix proteins. b, Thickness of the biofilms formed on the surface of non-tissue culture treated 96-well plate by the library of 45 L. lactis strains that express predicted surface proteins (P1 to P45). c, SEM images of the biofilms formed by the strains encoding the proteins P6, P13, P25 and P40. Data are presented as mean ± s.d. from 3 independent experiments, and representative pictures from different samples are shown.
