From: Difference in virulence and composition of a cariogenic biofilm according to substratum direction
Effect of substratum direction on EPS. (A) EPS biovolume, (B) EPS thickness of 46-h-old S. mutans biofilm, and (C) representative 3-D images of EPSs (red) 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).
