August 3rd Biofilm Disc Recovery
After retrieving and cleaning the racks on July 15th, and redeploying all 6 back on the same platform on July 20th, a lot of colonization has occurred on the top discs. The Inner Harbor is back to the normal, "iced tea" color instead of a pistachio green (sulfur bacterial bloom).
Although the discs still were still dark, they were not black/gray. The dominating organisms found on the discs include the tube bryozoan and stentors. A few entoprocts, colonial ciliates, and mussels were also found around the disc.
