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.

Campylobacter infection is one of the most widespread foodborne gastroenteritis worldwide. As a commensal microbe in the intestinal tracts of food-producing animals, Campylobacter easily enters the food chain and eventually transmits to human hosts through the consumption of contaminated food products.

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.

Current Opinion in Microbiology, 2002
In response to attachment to a surface, fungal cells produce biofilms, three-dimensional structures composed of cells surrounded by exopolymeric matrices. Surface attachment causes Candida albicans cells to enter a special physiological state in which they are highly resistant to antifungal drugs and express the drug efflux determinants CDR1, CDR2 and ...

Annual Review of Microbiology, 1995
Direct observations have clearly shown that biofilm bacteria predominate, numerically and metabolically, in virtually all nutrient-sufficient ecosystems. Therefore, these sessile organisms predominate in most of the environmental, industrial, and medical problems and processes of interest to microbiologists.

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

Current Opinion in Biotechnology, 1993
Over the review period, a significant amount of literature has been published documenting the impact of biofilms on engineered and biomedical systems. Reactor systems and analytical techniques have evolved to study the molecular chemistry and microbial ecology within biofilm layers only tens of micrometers thick, and various protocols have been ...

Microbial Ecology, 2018
Microbial biofilms are multicellular communities of sessile microorganisms encased by the hydrated polymeric matrix. They have significant influences on both aquatic/terrestrial ecosystem and anthropogenic activities. Taking advantage of the governing features of selective stress (Tan and Ng in Water Res 42:1122-1132, 2008; Wei in Water Res 45:863-871,

Microbial biofilms are complex self-organized communities of microbial cells that provide protective environments for the cells that inhabit the biofilm, enabling them to respond efficiently to challenges. The enhanced resistance and altered metabolism of the cells in the biofilm makes biofilms potentially very useful in chemical production processes ...
