Abstract

Biofilms form on natural animate substrata. For substrata discussed in this chapter, we selected plants’ surfaces and the tissues inside of human bodies. Biofilms are a result of bacterial activity. First bacteria attach to a surface (at an interface), aggregate, and then increase their number to a certain threshold value. At this point they excrete extracellular polymeric substances to form biofilms. The phenomenon is brought about by quorum sensing, a sort of signal transmission process. This process is similar to that of biofilms in other environments. With an understanding of the proposed mechanisms and phenomenon, one has a chance to utilize the benefits of biofilms and to control their negative effects. In this chapter, biofilms are described for an animate natural environment.
