摘要: Although the growth of bacteria in planktonic culture has been mainstay microbiological technique from time Pasteur to present, and provided an increasingly accurate understanding prokaryotic physiology genetics, it is now clear that natural enviromnents (except for open oceans) live surface-associated communities, knowledge about this biofilm lifestyle essential order understand bacterial biology12. During last 10 years there a rapidly increasing recognition biofilms as highly significant topic microbiology with relevance many important areas modern society such drinking water supply systems, industrial settings, waste treatment, bioremediation, chronic infections, nosocomial dental plaque.
