1 Influence biofilm type (dual-species vs. single-species): for each biofilm age and each population type, model parameters bearing different superscripts (no small letters in common) are significantly different (p ≤ 0.05); 2 Influence biofilm age: for each population and biofilm type, model parameters bearing different superscripts (no small letters in common) are significantly different (p ≤ 0.05); 3 Influence population type within dual-species biofilm: for each biofilm age, model parameters bearing different subscripts (no small letters in common) are significantly different (p ≤ 0.05); 4 Influence CAP set-up (SBD-air versus SBD-helium): for each biofilm type and population type, model parameters bearing different superscripts (no numbers in common) are significantly different (p ≤ 0.05); 5 Influence CAP set-up (SBD-air versus DBD-helium): for each biofilm age, biofilm type, and population type, model parameters bearing different subscripts (no capital letters in common) are significantly different (p ≤ 0.05).
