Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) of A. nidulans biofilms grown on SEB. a SEB (0.5 %) was deposited on 12 mm adhesive discs and transferred into a 24 well plate containing liquid media (without any carbon source) plus 5 × 105 conidia/ml for 48 h at 37 °C. Biofilms were washed, fixed, and sputter-coated with gold prior to SEM. b Wild-type A. nidulans forms a biofilm on the SEB particles (500×). c Absence of RodA or DewC results in the reduction in biofilm formation on SEB (1000×) and the alteration of the appearance of the hyphal surface (12,000×)
