Three dimensional images from biofilms observed under the confocal laser scanning microscopy. Biofilm produced by L. plantarum C5 (a), L. plantarum POM1 (b), L. plantarum 1LS16 (c), L. plantarum D3.15 (d), L. plantarum OE1 (e), L. plantarum D6.6 (f), L. plantarum E3.8 (g), Lact. paracasei 41j (h). Metabolically active cells (green fluorescence) and biofilm exopolysaccharides in the extracellular polymeric matrix (red fluorescence) are shown in the same panel. Bars represent 50 μm; units of the x, y, and z axes are μm. Images are representatives of three biological replicates analyzed in triplicate
