Scanning electron microscopy of calcified biofilms: (a) etching pits on calcite crusts under the colonies in “BrownWhite” biofilm; (b) partial substitution of EPS structures with CaCO3 in a “BrownWhite” biofilm colony; (c) CaCO3 globules in a “BrownWhite” biofilm colony; (d) hollow structure of a CaCO3 spheroid; (e) Calcite microaggregates on the aerial mycelium of a “WhiteWavyEdge” biofilm colony; (f) сalcite microaggregates in a “CaveCurd” biofilm colony, residual channel in the center of colony marked with the arrow
