A
biofilm is a structured community of microorganisms encapsulated within a
self-developed polymeric matrix
and adherent to a living or inert surface. Biofilms are also often
characterized by surface attachment, structural heterogeneity, genetic
diversity, complex community interactions, and an extracellular matrix of polymeric
substances.
A
biofilm is a complex aggregation
of microorganisms marked by the excretion of a protective and adhesive matrix. Biofilms are also often characterized by
surface attachment, structural heterogeneity, genetic diversity, complex
community interactions, and an extracellular matrix of polymeric
