The biofilm architecture of P. aeruginosa is influenced by S. maltophilia and DSF. Images are of 4-day-old biofilms in flow cells in FABL medium.
The biofilm architecture of P. aeruginosa is influenced by S. maltophilia and DSF. Images are of 4-day-old biofilms in flow cells in FABL medium. (A) P. aeruginosa PAO1; (B) S. maltophilia K279a; (C) coculture of P. aeruginosa PAO1 and S. maltophilia K279a; (D) coculture of P. aeruginosa PAO1 and S. maltophilia K279arpfF; (E) P. aeruginosa PAO1 with 50 μM exogenous DSF; (F) coculture of P. aeruginosa PAO1 and the complemented S. maltophilia K279arpfF mutant. P. aeruginosa was tagged with mini-Tn7gfp, and S. maltophilia was visualized with Syto62. Scale bars, 20 μm. The confocal scanning laser microscopy images shown are representative of 12 images from three independent experiments. (Reprinted from reference 291 with permission of John Wiley & Sons.)‏
