<p>The assays were performed in triplicate and quantified by measuring A₅₇₀ nm of crystal violet-stained wells rinsed with 80% ethanol and 20% acetone. The different letters above each bar refer to the Duncan’s test, <i>p</i> < 0.05. Control (amended with nothing). LB medium was amended with sucrose (Sucrose), fructose (Fructose), pectin (Pectin), xylan (Xylan), galactose (Galactose), lactose (Lactose), or glycerol (Glycerol) at a final concentration of 0.5% (w:v).
