Min-to-max box plots of the adhesion force for two S. oneidensis variants on OTS. For the bpfG (C116S) mutant five individual cells were measured, for the control four bacterial cells. To obtain a comprehensive overview of the adhesion events, all countable events were summarized for both variants. This yielded 306 evaluable curves for bpfG and 286 curves for the control group. The following statistical values are presented for each variant: Mean (open square) and median value (horizontal line), interquartile range (IQR, i.e. the distance between first and third quartile, represented as box height), 1.5* IQR (whiskers) and outliers (black diamonds), i.e. data points that fall outside 1.5*IQR.
