Fig. 1

The rnc gene affects E. faecalis biological characteristics. A Quantitative RT-PCR analysis showed the rnc gene transcripts in E. faecalis ATCC29212, rnc+ and rnc−. The expression level of internal control 16S rRNA in ATCC29212 is set to 1.0. Experiments were performed in triplicate and are presented as the mean ± standard deviation. B Crystal violet assay showed the biomass of E. faecalis biofilms. C The growth curves of E. faecalis ATCC29212, rnc + and rnc−. D SEM images of 24-h cultured biofilms.
