Figure 3

Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) micrographic in vitro S. aureus biofilm. A) aggregation and EPS production 5000X; B) aggregation and EPS production 20000X; C) expansion of the bacterial biofilm; polymeric bridge approaching closer (left inferior insert; 20000X); ECM in upper zone of the microcolony (upper right insert; 10000X); D) microcolonies of mature bacterial biofilm with ECM connecting bacteria and bacterial channels. C = channels, EPS = exopolymeric substances, B = bacteria, Eb = exopolymeric bridge, ECM = extracellular matrix.
