Figures & data
Figure 1 Average ODs of E. coli biofilm after different time intervals (2, 4, 10, and 24 hours). Bar graph shows weak biofilm formation at 2 and 4 hours (OD~0.08–0.11), moderate biofilm formation at 10 hours (OD~0.157), and mature biofilm at 24 hours (OD~0.20). Error bars show SD from the mean value of all 21 strains.
