Biofilm has been described as a are complex microbial ecosystems formed from one or several microbes bound in a complex extracellular matrix of their own secretions and formations. In earlier discussions in this biofilm series, we have talked about general formation of the complex ecosystems, the detection, classical and modern control methods of biofilms in […]
