Biofilm growing on cow bone from which organics had been removed (see methods), 48 hours after inoculation.
<p>(A) <i>B</i>.<i>cereus</i> has colonized the bone and can be seen growing on and around the bone at low magnification. (B) <i>S</i>.<i>epidermidis</i> at higher magnification. Note the interaction of the biofilm with the surface of the bone (yellow arrows). Similar observations were made for both organisms. (C) Feather (tan) and ostrich eggshell (white) in the presence of <i>B</i>. <i>cereus</i> shows biofilm growth on tissues and in surrounding medium. (D) Feather and eggshell surrounded by biofilm from <i>S</i>. <i>epidermidis</i>, as above.</p
