Table 1 OD (OD600 nm) scale levels used for classification of the tested isolates according to their biofilm formation capabilities (Mohamed et al. 2013)

From: Biofilm formation by Streptococcus mutans and its inhibition by green tea extracts

OD value

Biofilm formation

OD ≤ 2* ODca

Weak biofilm producer

2*ODc ≤ OD ≤ 4*ODc

Moderate biofilm producer

4*ODc ≤ OD

Strong biofilm producer

  1. aODc is OD of the control wells
