In reality, most microorganisms are not free floating. They exist in biofilms, a community of many of them from the same species or from other genera and attached to surfaces.Microorganisms undergo a transition from free-floating, planktonic microorganisms to a sessile, surface-attached one.

The microorganisms in biofilms live in a self-produced matrix of hydrated extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) that form their immediate environment. EPS are mainly polysaccharides, proteins, nucleic acids and lipids; they provide the mechanical stability of biofilms, mediate their adhesion to surfaces and form a cohesive, three-dimensional polymer

Current Opinion in Microbiology, 1999
Outside of the laboratory, most microbes grow as organised biofilm communities on surfaces. The past year has seen important advances in our understanding of how cells initiate biofilm formation. We have also begun to appreciate how cells can co-ordinate their activities and build the complex structures of mature biofilms that afford protection for ...

Microbial Biofilms and Biofilm Reactors
2018Scientists and engineers have realized the industrial and environmental significance of biofilm accumulation and activity. The ability to predict and control biofilm formation has led to less fouling and corrosion in industrial systems and a better understanding of biofilm importance in natural aquatic systems.

Biofouling, 2003
The extracellular matrix is a complex and extremely important component of all biofilms, providing architectural structure and mechanical stability to the attached population. The matrix is composed of cells, water and secreted/released extracellular macromolecules.

Biofouling, 1996
A mixed-culture biofilm (MCB) model is available which describes the progression of biofilm thickness and the spatial distribution and development in time of dissolved and paniculate components in the biofilm. The MCB model is able to predict the physico-chemical conditions at the interface between the biofilm and the solid surface, on which the ...

This chapter on biofilm risks deals with biofilm formation of pathogenic microbes, sampling and detection methods, biofilm removal, and prevention of biofilm formation. Several common pathogens produce sticky and/or slimy structures in which the cells are embedded, that is, biofilms, on various surfaces in food processing.

Expert Opinion on Biological Therapy, 2008
Biofilms are bacterial communities ubiquitous to moist environments. Biofilm formation is a factor in the development and persistence of infectious diseases. In clinical nephrology, biofilms influence the development of kidney stones and affect dialysis systems, including peritoneal and central venous catheters.
