Fig 4 — (A) S.m-C.a WT, (B) S.m-C.a pmt4ΔΔ, and (C) S.m-C.a och1ΔΔ. (A1-C1) Top view of biofilms, (A2-C2) magnified images of representative areas, (A3-C3) orthogonal views of biofilms, and (A4-C4) orthogonal views of EPS glucan-matrix. S.m-C.a WT biofilm displays numerous hyphal (mostly located in the outer layer; see white arrows) and yeast form of C. albicans with abundant amount of bacteria and densely-packed EPS glucans. In contrast, S.m-C.a pmt4ΔΔ and S.m-C.a och1ΔΔ display only a few of C. albicans with significant reduction of bacterial cells and disruption of the matrix.
