The gene and protein expression of (a) groEL , (b) recA and (c) dnaK determined using either qRT-PCR or Western blotting. Column charts represent qRT-PCR results while insets represent Western blotting results. a) Western blotting shows a 1.4 fold increase in GroEL protein abundance while qRT-PCR shows 3-fold decrease in groEL gene transcripts in biofilm cells planktonic cells. b) Western blotting analysis shows similar levels of RecA in both planktonic and biofilm cells while qRT-PCR shows nearly 2-fold decrease in recA gene expression in biofilm cells. c) qRT-PCR shows a 3-fold decrease in dnaK gene transcripts in biofilm cells compared to planktonic cells.
