Figure 3

Confocal images of all the samples incubated under different conditions. (a) Positive control, IS5 only; (b) IS5 + THPS; (c) IS5 + GLUT; (d) IS5 + BAC; and (e) IS5 + GLUT/BAC. These images were taken at the end of the 15-day incubation. The graph in (f) shows the number of bacteria stained during the processing of these coupons (All/green stain) vs the number of damaged/dead cells identified using the counter stain (Dead/red stain). These values were calculated after statistical evaluation of multiple images/samples using the Gwyddion software.
