Abstract

The novel image analysis software package bioImage_L was tested to calculate biofilm structural parameters in oral biofilms stained with dual-channel fluorescent markers. By identifying color tonalities in situ, the software independently processed the color subpopulations and characterized the viability and metabolic activity of biofilms.
