TABLE 1.

Analysis of steady-state C. albicans biofilms grown on cylindrical cellulose filters under conditions of glucose or iron limitation^a

Limiting nutrient	Adherent population (109 CFU)	Cells in eluate (106 CFU ml−1)	Growth rate (h−1)
Glucose	3.41 ± 1.18	2.94 ± 0.77	0.043 ± 0.012
Iron	7.48 ± 0.17	4.76 ± 1.05	0.038 ± 0.005

^aData are means ± standard errors of the means from four (iron-limited biofilms) or six (glucose-limited biofilms) determinations.
