Determination of competition via dual-species biofilms of P. aeruginosa strains with S. aureus SP123. Pa single: P. aeruginosa strains as single-species biofilm, Pa dual: fraction of P. aeruginosa in the dual-species biofilm with S. aureus. Sa dual: fraction of S. aureus in the dual-species biofilm with P. aeruginosa. Graphs show means and error bars indicate standard deviations. n ≥ 3, *p ≤ 0.05 (S. aureus T18 versus T0 and T1). T0: timepoint 0, planktonic start culture. T1: timepoint 1, 72 h biofilm cells. T18: timepoint 18, biofilm cells after 18 cycles (54 days). L1: lineage 1, L2: lineage 2, L3: lineage 3. C: control single-culture. M: microbiome.
