From: Pseudomonas aeruginosa Cystic Fibrosis isolates of similar RAPD genotype exhibit diversity in biofilm forming ability in vitro

Figure 5

Cross section of the mixed Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilm. Isolate gfp-17 was allowed to establish a biofilm for 48 h and then isolate 80 was inoculated into the flow reactor. After 24 h incubation the mixed biofilm was stained and GFP and rhodamine B were excited at 488 nm and 567 nm respectively. As can be seen from the cross section, isolate 80 became incorporated into the biofilm body and was not simply attached to the surface of the isolate gfp-17 biofilm.
