Fig. 1From: Inhibitory activity of monoacylglycerols on biofilm formation in Aeromonas hydrophila, Streptococcus mutans, Xanthomonas oryzae, and Yersinia enterocolitica Effect of the fatty acid length of monoacylglycerols on biofilm formation by four bacterial strains, a A. hydrophila, b S. mutans, c Y. enterocolitica, and d X. oryzae. The concentration effect of each monoacylglycerol was first observed in Additional file 1: Fig. 1. Because the results obtained with 48 mg/l clearly demonstrated the effectiveness of monoacylglycerols on biofilm formation, we selected 48 mg/l treatment data and replotted only selected data here. The biofilm amount was evaluated with 1 % crystal violet. Data points are the average of eight experiments and are presented as mean ± SDBack to article page
