Figure 5.

Formation ofFlavobacterium psychrophilumbiofilm in the presence of a previously formed antagonist biofilm ofPseudomonas fluorescens. Quantification of adhered F. psychrophilum cells corresponds to “F. psychrophilum + antagonist”. The quantification of adhered antagonist cells is also included; these appear as a stable biofilm throughout the experiment (Antagonist control). The control, corresponding to the formation of F. psychrophilum biofilms in the absence of the antagonist (F. psychrophilum – antagonist), is also included. The values shown represent the average of 3 replications, together with the standard deviation.
