Biofilms are surface-attached microbial communities whose architecture can be captured with confocal microscopy. Manual or automatic thresholding of acquired images is often needed to help distinguish biofilm biomass from background noise. However, manual thresholding is subjective and current automatic thresholding methods can lead to loss of meaningful data. Here, we describe an automatic thresholding method designed for confocal fluorescent signal, termed the biovolume elasticity method (BEM) ...[more]
