FIGURE 6.
Continuous-flow culture allows P. aeruginosa, C. albicans, and S. aureus to be maintained in a stable steady-state. Viable cell counts of P. aeruginosa PAO1 (PA, black bars) S. aureus 25923 (SA, white bars) and C. albicans SC5314 (CA, grey bars) co-cultures in ASM in: (A) a continuous-flow setup; (B) aerobic batch culture; and (C) stirred batch culture. Data represented as mean ± standard deviation of three independent experiments. CFU mL– 1 values are plotted on a log10 scale and asterisks represent significant differences in CFU mL– 1 counts in comparison with the data from the 24 h time point (∗∗P < 0.05, ∗∗∗P < 0.001).
