Biofilms

2006
Biofilms of bacteria, frequently in association with algae, protozoa and fungi, are found on all submerged structures in the marine environment. Although it is likely that for the majority of organisms a biofilmed surface is not a pre-requisite for settlement, in practice, colonization by spores and larvae of fouling organisms almost always takes place

Biofilms

2020
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 biofilm matrix

Nature Reviews Microbiology, 2010
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

Biofilms

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

2018
Scientists 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.
