Example of the applied iso-surface used for quantitation of aggregated biomass (Fig. S1); growth of the cultures inoculated according to the 4 methods, monitored by OD600 measurements every 30 minutes within the first 7 hours (Fig. S2); aggregation in the inoculum produced by the four methods before and after sonication as well as the resulting cultures after 18 hours of growth (Fig. S3); 5 × 5 overview CLSM images (Fig. S4); fraction-aggregated biomass of total biomass in cultures either treated with 90 units ml−1 of DNase or untreated (Fig. S5).
