Bacterial biofilm has brought a lot of intractable problems in food and biomedicine areas.
Conventional biofilm control mainly focuses on inactivation and removal of biofilm. However …

Various pathogens have the ability to grow on food matrices and instruments. This grow may
reach to form biofilms. Bacterial biofilms are community of microorganisms embedded in …

Materials and equipment in food processing industries are colonized by surface-associated
microbial communities called biofilms. In these biostructures microorganisms are embedded …

Biofilms in the Food Environment examines biofilms produced by food-borne
microorganisms, the risks associated with biofilms in the food chain, the beneficial …

Several researchers observed that the bacteria responsible for causing various diseases
exist in two states with their own unique characteristics. These states are planktonic and …

Biofilms are structured communities of bacteria, which are adhered to a surface and
embedded in a self-produced matrix of extracellular polymeric substances. Since biofilms …

Biofilms are microbial aggregation membranes that are formed when microorganisms attach
to the surfaces of living or nonliving things. Importantly, biofilm properties provide …

Biofilms are a self-protection growth pattern of bacteria, which are different from planktonic
cells. They have been of considerable interest in food hygiene since biofilms may contain …
