Effect of Alginate Lyase on Biofilm-Grown Helicobacter pylori Probed by Atomic Force Microscopy

Figure 1

Quantitative (a-b) analysis of H. pylori biofilm cell morphologies in (c-d) circularity distribution is shown for each sample. The distribution was calculated by means of ten different AFM images for each sample and following the measuring system described in Section 2. Inset images show representative AFM images ( μm) for each sample, which highlights the different shapes.
