Box-plot of cell surface hydrophobicity of E. coli O26 isolates as measured at 25 °C using hexadecane and xylene and its influence on biofilm formation. Results represent the average of percentage of bound cells to hexadecane and xylene. Data were grouped by the capacity of biofilm formation on polystyrene microtiter plates, stainless steel coupons and glass slides and pellicle formation at the air-liquid interface. For each box, the lower hinge, upper hinge and inside line represent the 25th (Q1) percentile, the 75th (Q3) percentile and the median, respectively. Lower and upper bars represent the lower and the upper whiskers respectively
