CLSM analysis of biofilms. (a) CLSM observations. Scale bar, 50 μm. (b) Determination of the thickness and volume of live and dead cells using Imaris imaging software. Black and white bars represent the volumes of live and dead cells, respectively. The letters a, b and c represent significant difference as indicated by the opposing letters (one-way analysis of variance, Tukey–Kramer test, P<0.05). There were no significant differences at any time between the volumes of dead cells. CLSM, confocal laser scanning microscope.
