Biofilms are aggregates of organized growth of microorganisms. Bacteria irreversibly attach to the surface of inert or active entities, multiply, differentiate, and secrete some polysaccharide matrix, which is a bacterial aggregate membrane formed by wrapping the bacterial community in it. A single biofilm can be formed by one or more different microorganisms. Source from: biofilm imaging optical techniques
