Characterization of eDNA from the Clinical Strain Acinetobacter baumannii AIIMS 7 and Its Role in Biofilm Formation

Figure 1

(a) Growth curve of Acinetobacter baumannii AIIMS 7. (b) Pattern of eDNA release in temporal scale of A. baumannii AIIMS 7 growth. Graph representing concentrations of eDNA purified from cell-free supernatant of A. baumannii AIIMS 7 at respective time points. The pattern shows a depression at 48 hour, otherwise showing almost steady presence of eDNA in extracellular medium. (Concentrations of eDNA: 490±54.74, 515±40, 505±39.05, 350±17.55, 475±20.56, 440±20.61, 455±27.83, 525±44.43 μg/mL, respectively, at 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84, and 96 hours).
