K4-26 dep protein can digest capsules and degrade biofilms. A The translucent plaques formed by the pK4-26 and K4-26 dep protein. B Morphology of K. aerogenes 4-26 under TEM before and after treatment using depolymerase. C Color change in DNS reacted with K. aerogenes 4-26 CPS. D Fluorescence staining showed that the depolymerase can significantly reduce the amount of biofilm formed by K. aerogenes 4-26. E Crystal violet staining also proved the K4-26 dep protein can degrade biofilm formed by K. aerogenes 4-26. Values are expressed as mean ± SD (n ≥ 3). ****P < 0.0001 (one-way ANOVA)
