Comparison of biofilms morphology for two strains of marine sulfate-reducing bacteria using atomic force microscopy

AISI 304 stainless steel coupons were immersed in VMNI medium containing two strains of Sulfate-reducing bacteria which were isolated from Port Dickson, Negeri Sembilan. The immersion period were set for twenty-four hour, seven days, nine days and fifteen days. At the end of each period, the biofilm...
