(a) IOD (integrated optical density) of the green and red fluorescence from biofilm cells. (b) Biofilm thickness. The Z section was used to record the biofilm thickness. Vertical lines were chosen randomly to analyze each image. The red and green fluorescence intensities of the dead cells and living cells, respectively, were also quantified using Image Pro-plus. *Significant difference was found between green fluorescence of UA159 and MS-gcrR-def ( ).
