Sliding Motility, Biofilm Formation, and Glycopeptidolipid Production in Mycobacterium colombiense Strains

Figure 7

In vitro transcription of Mycobacterium colombiense genes involved in GPL biosynthesis. Relative quantification expressed as the ratio of gene transcription in (a) M. colombiense cells grown under planktonic conditions/transcription of M. colombiense CECT 3035 cells grown under planktonic conditions and (b) M. colombiense cells grown on the motility medium/transcription of M. colombiense CECT 3035 grown under planktonic conditions. The presented data have statistically significant differences compared with the values obtained from M. colombiense CECT 3035 cells ().
