The effect of oxygen stress on viability of cells within a biofilm.

Regression analyses were performed in three categories; a) were there strain dependent differences in survival in both the intact, disrupted and control biofilms. b) were there any significant differences in survival of vegetative cells or spores in intact and disrupted biofilms compared to the untreated control and c) were there any differences in vegetative cell or spore survival in intact biofilms compared to disrupted biofilms in response to oxygen stress. p
