Sizes of calcite particles in different regions of flow cells containing P. aeruginosa biofilm
| Particle source | Particle area (μm2) (mean ± SD)a |
|---|---|
| Flow cell inlet | 47.2 ± 32.8 |
| Precipitates deposited on biofilm surface | 42.9 ± 15.7 |
| Flow cell outlet | 38.6 ± 18.2 |
| In situ biomineralization | 564 ± 110 |
The means and standard deviations of 9 independent measurements are reported. The cross-sectional particle area was measured in ImageJ.
