Quantification of the cells forming the multispecies biofilms between L. gasicomitatum and P. fragi at 24, 48, and 72 h of incubation.

Bacteria	Incubation Period as Multispecies Biofilm (Hours)
	24	48	72
P. fragi	3.69 ± 0.66 aA	4.73 ± 0.33 aA	4.46 ± 0.29 aA
L. gasicomitatum	5.98 ± 0.22 bA	6.10 ± 0.18 bA	5.76 ± 0.22 bA
Control L. gasicomitatum	5.73 ± 0.16 bA	6.17 ± 0.15 bA	5.76 ± 0.20 bA

Each value corresponds to an average of two repetitions performed on three separate days (n = 6). Standard error of the mean was calculated. ^a,b Values within a column lacking a common lowercase letter differ significantly (P < 0.05). ^A,B Values within a row lacking a common capital letter differ significantly (P < 0.05).
