FISH images of marine biofilms with the Cy5-labeled bacterium-specific probe (EUB338), the Cy3-labeled GAM42a (for Gammaproteobacteria), the fluorescein-labeled ALF1b (for Alphaproteobacteria), and the Cy3-labeled Arch915 (for Archaea). Cells which appear magenta are Gammaproteobacteria, cyan cells are Alphaproteobacteria, blue cells are other bacteria, and red cells are Archaea. The scale bar on all images is 100 μm. Average bacterial counts ± standard errors per microscopic field of view (n = 60) with the Cy5-labeled bacterium-specific probe EUB338 were 160 ± 4.4 (2 weeks, shallow), 146 ± 4.0 (2 weeks, deep), 176 ± 4.7 (4 weeks, shallow), 166 ± 4.3 (4 weeks, deep), 185 ± 5.1 (8 weeks, shallow), and 184 ± 5.3 (8 weeks, deep).
