Discharge gases caused bacterial death and biomass loss in 1-day old S. aureus biofilms grown on 6-well plates. Bacterial viability and total biomass in biofilms were determined by MTT and CV staining assays, respectively. Experimental conditions: discharge gas: argon; exposure time: 10 min; power: 0–100 W. Bacterial numbers and biomass loss in biofilms were quantified by measuring absorbance changes in biofilms at OD570 nm after treatment. The data represent the means and SDs of at least three samples.
