Figure Lengend Snippet: FIGURE 1 Biofilm cell killing with cell-free produced colicins. Time-course of killing of Escherichia coli K361 biofilm cells with the addition of cell-free produced colicins E1, E2, and E3. Overnight K361 cultures were adjusted to an OD600 nm of 0.01 (approximately 5 106 CFU/ml) in LB medium, incubated at 37C for 24 h to form biofilms, and exposed to each cell-free produced colicin (3.5 nM) for 5 min, 1 h, 4 h, and 8 h at 37C. Viable biofilm cells are quantified in colony-forming units per area (CFU/cm2). Error bars indicate the standard deviation from two independent cultures with three replicates
