Microbial Biofilms
Author(s): Sunita Panchawat*
Biofilm exhibit two types of growth mode i.e. planktonic cell and sessile aggregate. In biofilm (association of micro-organisms), cells stick to each other on a surface encased within matrix of extracellular polymeric substance produced by bacteria themselves [1]. A Dutch researcher, Antoni van Leeuwenhoek, for the first time observed ‘animalcule’ on surfaces of tooth by using a simple microscope and this was considered as the microbial biofilm discovery [2]. For marine microorganism i.e. bacterial growth and activity were substantially enhanced by the incorporation of a surface to which these microorganisms could attach is known as “bottle effect” observed by Heukelekian and Heller [3]...
