FIG. 7.

Cell cycle distributions for planktonic (A) and biofilm (B) cells at a number of specific glycolate utilization rates. Open bar, B phase; dark gray bar, C phase; and light gray bar, D phase. Standard deviations were determined from a minimum of three independent biological samples. Planktonic specific glycolate utilization rates between 4 to 8 and 8 to 12 mM/CFU/h correspond to growth rates of between 0.07 to 0.08 and 0.09 to 0.12 h⁻¹, respectively.
