Figure 1From: High adsorption rate is detrimental to bacteriophage fitness in a biofilm-like environmentExamples of adsorption profiles of HA-Stf, HA-J1077-1, and LA-wt phages. The proportion of free phages remaining in solution is plotted against time. Symbols: circle, LA-wt; square, HA-Stf; triangle, HA-J1077-1. It is to be noted that for LA-wt and HA-J1077-1 phages ~108 cells/mL of stationary E. coli XL1 Blue cells were used, while ~107 were used for HA-Stf.Back to article page
