Biofilm Formation

Abstract

A biofilm represents a group of microorganisms that are living appended to a surface by discharging a sticky, sugary substance that envelops the microscopic organisms in a lattice. The biofilm could be made out of a single species of microorganism or an aggregate of different species. As a rule, biofilms are just microorganisms, yet they can likewise incorporate other living things, for example, fungi and algae, which can be consolidated into the biofilm, making a microbial stew of sorts. They are complicated systems that are many times compared to a multicellular life form.
