Figure 4From: The Role of msa in Staphylococcus aureus Biofilm FormationConfocal microscopy images of biofilm. The msa mutant and the wild type strain COL were imaged 6 hours post inoculation of flow cells. The panels on the left are an overlay of multiple slices, and the side frames of the panels on the right show the z-stack showing the thickness and the architecture of the biofilm. The line in the z-stack indicates the level at which the photograph of the x-y plane was taken. Photographs were taken at a magnification of ×600.Back to article page
