Biphasic biofilms of C. crescentus. Two types of biofilms can be observed to develop on a glass surface in a hydrodynamic flow chamber system: a cell monolayer biofilm and a biofilm consisting of substantial three-dimensional mushroom-shaped structures. Extracellular appendages relevant for the respective stages of biofilm formation are indicated. See Discussion for detailed explanations.
