SEM scans showing biofilm formation after 12£¿h cultured on sterile tooth surface: a Control (No bacteria), b S. gordonii alone, c F. nucleatum alone, d P. gingivalis, and e¨Ch Three species mixed biofilm (Lower magnification) to (Higher magnification) showing the characteristics rod-shaped P. gingivalis, cocci S. gordonii and fusiform rods F. nucleatum forming aggregate structure. e¨Ci show different magnification of the same section with right at the lowest and left with at higher magnification. Blue boxes mark the sequenced higher magnifications from (e¨Ch). h Computer-generated image shows color markings for rod-shaped P. gingivalis as red, cocci S. gordonii as green and fusiform rods F. nucleatum as orange (photoshop CS6).
