Fig. 5

Confocal laser scanning microscopy images of single-species biofilms formed after 24 h of growth on glass surfaces under dynamic conditions. Biofilms were grown on glass surfaces in flow cells, at 22° C for 24 h, under a flow of Zobell medium. Bacteria were stained with Syto 61 red. a, b, c: 3D views of biofilms of bacterial isolates from mudflat biofilms. d: 3D view of a biofilm of the bacterial isolate from corrosion product-microorganism composite biofilms. Each image is representative of 10 observations. Scale bar: 67.3μm
