Abstract excerpt
Eight Escherichia coli strains were studied in minimal medium with a continuous flow system using confocal microscopy. K12 wild-type strains ATCC 25404 and MG1655 formed the best biofilms ( approximately 43 microm thick, 21 to 34% surface coverage). JM109, DH5alpha, and MG1655 motA formed intermediate biofilms ( approximately 13 microm thick, 41 to 58% surface coverage). BW25113, MG1655 qseB, and MG1655 fliA had...
