procedureBiofilm development occurs in stages: (i) free-living (planktonic) cells attach to a pre-conditioned surface via random propulsion, chemotaxis, or motion, which is initially reversible and influenced by physical and chemical variables; (ii) cells permanently attach using adhesion proteins like fimbriae, followed by the emergence of internal linkages and extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) composed of polysaccharides (e.g., colonic acid, chitosan, alginate), enzymes, RNA, DNA, nutrients, proteins, and surfactants; (iii) the biofilm community undergoes microbial proliferation and communication via chemical signaling, resulting in micro-colony growth.
