From: Potential of Variovorax paradoxus isolate BFB1_13 for bioremediation of BTEX contaminated sites
Biofilm forming ability of V. paradoxus strain BFB1_13 on polished stainless steel (PSS), hydroxyapatite (HA), viton rubber (VR), polycarbonate (PC), copper (Cu), stainless steel (SS), ductile iron (DI), polypropylene (PP), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), natural rubber (NR), titanium (Ti) and glass (G). The ratio of absorbance values obtained at 550Â nm (A550nm) of biofilm containing coupons (Sample) and abiotic control coupons (Control) is shown. A crystal-violet stained biofilm of strain BFB1_13, developed on polycarbonate surface is shown in the top right-hand corner. The average of three replicates is shown, error bars represent standard deviations (STD)
