  1. *Quantitation of biofilm parameters, including total biomass, maximum thickness, average thickness, were evaluated using COMSTAT. The results are means of datasets obtained from analysis of five CLSM images acquired at random positions in each of the biofilms. Standard deviations (SD) are also shown at the end of each of the means. Different superscript letters denote significant differences within a row (Tukey’s HSD: P < 0.05)
