Food fermentation is driven by microorganisms, which usually coexist as multispecies
biofilms. The activities and interactions of functional microorganisms and pathogenic …

Background In order to balance human health and environmental sustainability, plant-based
diets have been attracting increasing attention. Plant-based fermented foods are produced …

In food processing environments, various microorganisms can adhere and aggregate on the
surface of equipment, resulting in the formation of multispecies biofilms. Complex …

Attachment of microorganisms to food contact surfaces and the subsequent formation of
biofilms may cause equipment damage, food spoilage and even diseases. Mixed-species …

Biofilms have been of considerable interest in the context of food hygiene. Of special
significance is the ability of microorganisms to attach and grow on food and food-contact …

This review examines the impact of microbial communities colonizing food processing
environments in the form of biofilms on food safety and food quality. The focus is both on …

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 …

Multi-species biofilms are ubiquitous worldwide and are a concern in the food industry. Multi-
species biofilms have a higher resistance to antimicrobial therapies than mono-species …

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

Bacterial attachment and biofilm formation can lead to poor hygienic conditions in food
processing environments. Furthermore, interactions between different bacteria may induce …
