Size analysis of <i>P. aeruginosa</i> PA14 strains.

<p>(A to C) Hydrodynamic diameter of PA14 wildtype and Δ<i>phzA-G</i> strains, grown over 1 to 3 days respectively and effect of DNase I treatment on it. (D) Represents the change in reduction in hydrodynamic diameter of wildtype and Δ<i>phzA-G</i> after DNase I treatment. Error bars represents standard deviations from the mean (n = 5). Asterisks and hash indicate statistically significant (p<0.05) differences in hydrodynamic diameter in comparison to DNase I treated wildtype and Δ<i>phzA-G</i> strain (regardless of DNase I treatment) respectively. Dollar indicates statistically significant (p<0.05) differences in reduction in hydrodynamic diameter between wildtype (before and after DNase I treatment) and Δ<i>phzA-G</i> (before and after DNase I treatment) respectively.
