    • Abstract:
      The crystal violet assay is widely used for biofilm quantitation despite its toxicity and variability. Here, we instead combine fluorescence labelling with the Cytation 5 multi-mode plate reader, to enable simultaneous acquisition of both quantitative and imaging biofilm data. This high-throughput method produces more robust data and provides information about morphology and spatial species organization within the biofilm.
