Mean similarities (Soerensen index) between biofilm bacterial communities among flow treatments, showing an early, dynamic growth phase and a more-stable later phase. The Soerensen indices compare triplicate samples from a given flow treatment with each respective triplicate sample from another flow treatment, resulting in nine similarity values per flow treatment comparison and sampling date. Given are the means ± standard deviations of these nine values.
