Fig. 1From: Marine bacteria from the French Atlantic coast displaying high forming-biofilm abilities and different biofilm 3D architecturesQuantification of bacterial biofilm formation on polystyrene microtiter plates under static conditions. Bacteria were isolated from intertidal mudflat biofilms (white bars) and from corrosion product-microorganism composite biofilms developed on harbor metallic structures (black bars). After 24 h of growth, single-species biofilms were quantified with crystal violet and the ratios of OD595 (cells grown in biofilm)/OD600 (planktonic cells) were calculated. The ratios are represented on the y axis. Dotted bars: bacteria with a ratio OD595/OD600 >8. Bars represent means ± standard deviations for three replicatesBack to article page
