Leishmania major parasites (expressing red and green fluorescent markers)
3D reconstruction of E. coli microcolonies growing on a surface. Two strains of bacteria are present one expressing GFP (green) and one tdTomato (red).
3D reconstruction of an E. coli biofilm composed of two strains, one expressing GFP (green) and one tdTomato (red). A void in the biofilm can be seen in the central area of the image, part of many channels that run through the structure.
