Representative images of fluorescence microscopy of co-culture biofilms of C. albicans and S. salivarius developed under peri-implantitis-like microenvironment conditions. C. albicans is stained with calcofluor white (blue) and S. salivarius is stained with propidium iodide (red). Arrows demonstrate C. albicans pseudo-hyphal, whilst * shows hyphae cells. a Co-culture biofilms at 24 h. Note limited pseudo-hyphal cells and hyphae surrounded by clusters of bacteria. b Fungi-bacteria biofilm developed at 72 h. Note numerous pseudo-hyphal cells and some hyphae. Also, the presence of bacteria agglomerates
