From: Genetic adaptation of Streptococcus mutans during biofilm formation on different types of surfaces
Biofilms of S. mutans formed on different surfaces. Biofilms of S. mutans UA159 were grown on different surfaces in BHI, stained with LIVE/DEAD Bac Light fluorescent dye and analyzed with CLSM. The panels show cross-section images of biofilms from polystyrene (A), Ti (B), HA (C) and composite (D) materials. Dead cells were stained red, and live cells were stained green.
