Abstract:In this study, we explore the growth of Bacillus subtilis biofilm on substrates with different agar concentrations, and obtain the area, morphology information and fluorescence intensity of biofilms by using optical imaging technologies. We find that expansion rate variations of biofilms growing on substrates with high and low agar concentration (1.5wt%, 2.0wt%,2.5wt%) are not in the same phase. In the first three days’ growth, the interaction stress between biofilm and each agar substrate increases, which mak… Show more
