Surface area for binding, and not available nutrients, is a limiting resource during long-term experimental evolution under biofilm conditions. Phenotypes of isolates from the Early (315 generations) and Late (1050 generations) communities are compared here. (A) Effects of variation in galactose concentration on yield of attached cells. (B) Effects of variation in binding surface area (one bead or two beads) on yield of attached cells in 3% galactose. Results were evaluated using log₁₀ transformed data, a two-way ANOVA, and Tukey's HSD post hoc tests (P < 0.05). Error bars are 95% confidence intervals (df = 3).
