Figures & data
Figure 1. Enterococcal surface penetration.
(a–c). The capacity of E. faecalis MMH594 to penetrate was evidenced as a colony-print inside the agar after removing the non-penetrating cells (outside) through several washes with water. (a) Images of a 6-day-old colony (outside) and its penetrating cells (inside) grown on semisolid medium at 37°C. (b) Scanning electron microscopy of aggregated and matrix-covered (purple arrow head) enterococcal cells. (c) Top view of a colony and its invading community (side view) demonstrating the spatial localization of discrete E. faecalis aggregated communities differentially labeled with either red (m-Cherry) or green (GFP) fluorescent proteins. The top white line indicates the beginning of the agar. Scale bars: 1 mm (a and c); 2 μm (b) and 100 μm (d). Methodological details are further described in reference [Citation8].
