a
Biovolumes were obtained by COMSTAT analyses performed for three independent experiments, with standard deviations lower than 10% of each value.
b
For each biofilm analysis, total DNAs were extracted from two different biofilms, and the two samples were analyzed independently, with standard deviations lower than 10% of each value.
