Morphology and composition of a Burkholderia pellicle
B. thailandensis E264 and B. pseudomallei strains form two
different types of biofilms: an adherent biofilm and a liquid-air
interface biofilm (pellicle). The molecular composition of each pellicle
(Fig 5a-c), mirrored the composition of the adherent biofilm (Figs 2a,
3a-c). The pellicles shows high concentrations of protein and
polysaccharide and less eDNA present in pellicles of 1026b Δasdand Bp82. JW270 and E264 showed higher eDNA.
