Aspergillus fumigatus biofilm formed on a monolayer of sino-nasal epithelial cells within the channels of a μ-Slide y-shaped, ibiTreat, as seen via Confocal Scanning Laser Microscopy at 60x magnification. A. fumigatus formed 3-dimensional biofilm structures with parallel-packed, cross-linked hyphae and internal channels and passages. Metabolically active hyphae showed orangered fluorescing intra-vacuolar structures, and extracellular matrix (ECM) in between/around the hyphae fluoresced intense green.
