Figure 2 Mean viable bacteria (CFU cm−2 dry biofilm weight) in biofilms grown for 72 h (n = 10). The data were normalized by transforming by log10. Within a panel, group values that were identified using similar lower case letters were not significantly different (p > 0.05). A = total microorganisms; B = total aciduric bacteria; C = S. mutans; D = total lactobacilli bacteria.
