Fig. 1From: Analysis and description of the stages of Aspergillus fumigatus biofilm formation using scanning electron microscopy Aspergillus fumigatus isolates biofilm growth curves. Biofilm growth was assessed at different inoculum concentrations ranging from 1 × 104 (square), 1 × 105 (triangle) to 1 × 106 (circle) and various incubation times (0, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20 and 24 h) and at two dissimilar temperatures (28 and 37 °C). In addition, two strains isolated from different niches were used (clinical and soil isolates). Significant differences were determined by a Student-Newman-Keuls test, performing a multicomparison of procedures (p < 0.050). The significant difference is described as follows: *comparison of the inocula of the biofilm at 24 h; **Comparison among the inocula at 20 hBack to article page
