Figure 6

Surface plasmon resonance analysis of Pam-mediated adhesion on gold-coated glass probes. (A and B) Presence of the protein on the cell surface (washed cells) showed decreased adhesion to untreated gold surfaces in both TT01rif and E. coli pBADpam (+Pam), when compared with the correspondent strains lacking Pam, TT01pam and E. coli pBAD respectively (-Pam). (C and D) Supernatants from cultures expressing pam, TT01rif and E. coli pBADpam (+Pam), showed more adhesion than those lacking the protein TT01pam and E. coli pBAD (-Pam), indicating the ability of free Pam to adhere to surfaces.
