Fig. 3From: Auxotrophic Actinobacillus pleurpneumoniae grows in multispecies biofilms without the need for nicotinamide-adenine dinucleotide (NAD) supplementationCLSM of multi-species biofilms of A. pleuropneumoniae with other swine pathogens without NAD supplementation. A. pleuropneumoniae, S. suis, B. bronchiseptica, P. multocida, S. aureus and E. coli grown as single, dual or triple-species biofilms in BHI media without NAD stained with FM 1-43, SYTO 9, propidium iodide, wheat-germ agglutinin (WGA)-Oregon green, BOBO-3, and SYPRO Ruby (all from Invitrogen, Eugene, OR).
