Figure 7.

Biofilm (A) and S. aureus (B) re-growth from discharge argon treated biofilms. Experimental conditions: power: 100W; gas flow rate: 2.4 ft³ h⁻¹ ; exposure time: 5 min . After treatment, biofilms were washed and fed with fresh TSBG medium and incubated for another 24h (labeled as 48 h ) and 48 h (labeled as 72 h ). Biofilm biomass was measured by CV staining while bacterial re-growth was estimated by measuring absorbance changes of culture supernatant at OD₅₇₀ nm. Data represent the mean and SD of at least three samples.

In Fig. 7A, “hr” (x3) should read “h” and “Biomass Changes in Biofilms” should read “Biofilm biomass changes”

In Fig. 7B, “Bacteria in Growth Medium” should read “Bacteria in growth medium” and “Incubation Time (hrs)” should read “Incubation time (h)”
