Fig. 4

The amount of biofilm biomass shown as a percentage of that formed on Ti-OH under a anaerobic and b aerobic cultivation evaluated by crystal violet staining (n = 10). Fluorescent staining illustrating the live/dead distribution of c anaerobic bacteria and d aerobic bacteria (green for live cells, red for dead cells; scale bars = 20 μm). Quantitative analysis of the live/dead staining results for e anaerobic and f aerobic bacteria (n = 3). ***P < 0.001, ****P < 0.0001; Student’s t test; all error bars = s.d.
