A Crystalline violet assay for the quantification of mono- and dual-species 48-hours biofilms. B The structure of mono- and dual-species 48-hours biofilms observed via scanning electron microscopy (3000×, 8000×, and 15,000× magnifications). The white arrow indicates EPS. C Mono- and dual-species 48-hours biofilm status and quantification as observed under confocal laser scanning microscopy (100× magnification). Data are shown as mean ± SEM (n = 9). Significant difference with p values determined using Student’s t-test and adjusted for the false discovery rate, are marked by * for p values <0.05, **for p values <0.01.
