Biofilm is a Collection of Micro-Organisms and their Products.
Biofilm is a collection of microbial cells covered by and embedded in a matrix of extracellular microbial products, such as mucilage or slime, at an interface. Biofilms are found, for example, on the surface of stones in rivers and ponds, in water pipelines, as dental plaques on teeth and on surgical implants. Biofilm formation can have serious implications in industrial, environmental, medical and public health situations. Biofilms form in the micro-environment (rhizosphere) surrounding plant roots, where they assist the plant in absorbing nutrients from the soil.
