Microscopic analyses of S. marcescens biofilm formation. Light microscopic (A) and CLSM (B) images of phytol treatment slides (5 and 10 μg/ml) showed disintegration of S. marcescens biofilm formation compared to their untreated controls. Effect of phytol on S. marcescens swarming motility: The control plate exhibited extensive swarming motility on soft agar. In contrast, the phytol treatment (5 and 10 μg/ml) considerably inhibited the S. marcescens swarming motility (C). One percent of methanol was used as a vehicle control.
