Biofilm
Microscopic Images 1
These objects are made from dried biofilm
from which even small filaments grow out.
Acid-resistant biofilm with short outgrowing
filaments (streamers)
On
the left picture you can see a blue biofilm mass and a blue produced
filament.
In the middle, the same process with red fibers and in the
right image you can see a hyaline filament.
Depending on the UV-radiation, different colors are produced
(aminoacid-related
color production)
Filaments (streamers) that grow out of a
circular, dried biofilm
All these small holes have been created by
outgrowing filaments breaking through the dry biofilm mass
Close-up of biofilm extensions (streamers)
that grow out of the old biofilm mass
Bacterial
biofilms that produce circles or coil shapes are scientifically well
known
