SEM images of bacterial biofilm after culturing in the extract for 24 h. (a) Single-species biofilm of Pg and Aa, (b) multispecies biofilm of Sg, Fn, and Pg and Sg, Fn, and Aa, . Single arrow shows the normal bacterial biofilm. Double arrows show the damaged bacterial biofilm. The bacteria in the Mg-0.1Cu alloy group lost connection with each other, and the biofilm collapsed completely due to death of bacteria.
