Figure 4.
Scanning electron microscopy of T. asahii CEMM 05-6-072 and T. inkin CEMM 05-6-074 biofilms. Sessile cells were formed on Thermanox™ coverslips in drug-free RPMI medium as controls (A, B). Mature biofilms (48 h) were challenged with 100 μg/mL AMB (C, D) for detection of persister cells. Progeny biofilms produced by persister cells (E, F) or mature biofilms-detached cells were formed in RPMI medium (G, H). Live cells are shown in green and dead/damaged cells are shown in yellow/red after stain with SYTO9 and propidium iodide, respectively. Magnification: 400x. Bar: 100 μm.
