Fig 10. Structure of biofilms formed on oyster shells.

Fig 10

Biofilms of JN111 and its isogenic mutant (A) or CMCP6 and its isogenic mutant (B) were grown on oyster shells for 24 h in 24-well microtiter plates containing VFMG-CF supplemented with or without 0.01% arabinose and with 10 mM CaCl2. The biofilms were fixed, dehydrated, coated with platinum, and visualized using SEM (Supra 55VP, Zeiss) at a 20000× magnification. Bars, 1 μm; JN111, parent strain; YM112D, cabA mutant (of JN111); CMCP6, wild type; YM112, cabA mutant (of CMCP6).
