Figure 2

Profiles for the ten clusters with virtual knockout in cluster B. Plots for the ten clusters (A-J) show the expression profile (y-axis) vs. time (x-axis) for three scenarios: condition I (-), condition II (-.) and condition 3 (...). Biofilm is not formed under the null scenario because the biofilm positive regulators (clusters A and D) are repressed [expression value (ev) = 0] for three negative regulators (clusters C, G and H) [ev = 700]. However, under scenario II, the biofilm machinery is shown to be activated at 4000s.
