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.

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.

Microbiological Research, 2022
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.

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 ...

Trends in Microbiology, 2013
Bacteria can grow and proliferate either as single, independent cells or organized in aggregates commonly referred to as biofilms. When bacteria succeed in forming a biofilm within the human host, the infection often becomes very resistant to treatment and can develop into a chronic state.

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.

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.

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 ...

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.

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
