Functional diversity and metabolic activity profile of biofilm-harvested and planktonic AKS2 cells. Equal numbers (approximately 103 CFU) of either biofilm-harvested or planktonic cells of AKS2 were separately added to each well of BiOLOG-ECO plate and incubated for 3 days at 30°C. Absorbance at 590 nm of each well was recorded at different time points. Shannon diversity index (A) and average well colour development (B) were derived from well colour absorbance and plotted. Three replicates have been used for each experiment, and the result represents the average of these three replicates. Error bars indicate standard deviation (±SD). Statistical significance between the groups was evaluated by ANOVA.
