From: Difference in virulence and composition of a cariogenic biofilm according to substratum direction
Effect of substratum direction on live and dead cells. (A) Bacterial biovolume, (B) bacterial thickness of live and dead cells in 46-h-old S. mutans biofilms, and (C) representative 3-D images of live (green) and dead (red) cells in the biofilms: (C-1) downward substratum surfaces, (C-2) vertical substratum surfaces, and (C-3) upward substratum surfaces. Values followed by the same superscript are not significantly different from each other (p > 0.05). *p < 0.05: significantly different from each other.
