The Formation of Biofilms: Comparison
Please note this is a comparison between Version 4 by Camila Xu and Version 3 by Jose Antonio Gutiérrez-Barranquero.

Biofilms are matrix-enclosed bacterial populations that are adherent to each other and to surfaces and/or interfaces and are mainly composed of polysaccharides, proteins, lipids, and extracellular DNA.

  • exopolysaccharides
  • biofilm
  • plant-associated Pseudomonas
