A biofilm is a thick layer of prokaryotic organisms that have aggregated to form a colony. The colony attaches to a surface with a slime layer which aids in protecting the microorganisms. There are a number of reasons why biofilms are formed, all of which promote growth and survival or the microorganisms. Biofilms are found in almost all environmen...
A microbial biofilm is made up of many prokaryotic organisms that combine to form a colony. The colony is adhered to a surface and coated with a polysaccharide layer (or slime layer). The slime consists of many porous layers with channels which allow the cells in the centre of the colony to receive nutrients and remove waste products. This figure d...
The microorganisms in a biofilm aggregate to form a colony for metabolic cooperation. This cooperative method of growth increases the cells’ survival through improved defense, increased availability of nutrients, and better opportunities for cellular communication and transfer of genetic material. Cellular defense is important to combat physical th...
1. Which of the following is not a reason for biofilm formation? A. reproduction B. defense C. communication D.growth 2. What is the slime layer made of? A. protein B. fat C. sugar D.none of the above 3. Where are biofilms found? A. in the ocean B. in animals C. on metal surfaces D.all of the above
A biofilm is a syntrophic community of microorganisms in which cells stick to each other and often also to a surface. [2][3] These adherent cells become embedded within a slimy extracellular matrix that is composed of extracellular polymeric substances (EPSs). [2][3] The cells within the biofilm produce the EPS components, which are typically a ...
