The formation of heterologous rigid structures in more fluid regions of a biofilm (fainter green color) in biofilms

Biofilm treated for 24 hours with antibiotic showing: (a) region of the commensal viscous biofilm where growth is halted (dark region),(b) putative microenvironments where viscous biofilm growth continued (less dense green within heterologous rigid structures)

A simulation of how the presence of rigid structures affects the flow of antibiotics through the biofilms. Scale bar is 20μm
