Microbial Biofilms

Biofilms are a collection of microbial cells that are associated with plaque, pond scum, or foul buildup in sinks. Molding, connection, metabolism, and separation are all grouped together in this development. Biofilm development is a process in which microorganisms attach to and grow on a surface in an irreversible manner, producing extracellular polymers that promote connection and framework arrangement, resulting in a change in the phenotype of the living beings in terms of development rate and quality interpretation. Biofilms are created by a variety of microorganisms, including pathogens, and provide a means for these living creatures to protect themselves from antimicrobial agents.
