Panel a shows a Raman spectrum of biomineralized calcium carbonate minerals in a P. aeruginosa biofilm. The highest Raman shift intensity appears at 1,088 cm−1, indicating the presence of carbonate minerals. The primary peaks match those in a calcite standard spectrum (shown in panel b), indicating that the biomineralized deposits are calcite and not aragonite.
