Abstract:
The spatial distributions of zinc a representative transition metal and active biomass in bacterial biofilmswere determined using two-photon laser scanning microscopy (2P-LSM). Application of 2P-LSM permitsanalysis of thicker biofilms than are amena

Materials & Methods:
Thin biofilms were grown in microwell dishes with 0.17-mm glass coverslips at the bottom (MatTek Ashland MA).
