Bacteria form surface-attached biofilm communities in nature.In contrast to free-living cells, bacterial cells within biofilms
resist sanitizers and antimicrobials. While building biofilms,cells physiologically adapt to sustain the otherwise lethal
impacts of a variety of environmental stress conditions. In this development, the production and embedding of cells in
extracellular polymeric substances plays a key role. Biofilm bacteria can cause a range of problems to food processing
including reduced heat-cold transfer, clogging water pipelines,food spoilage and they may cause infections among
consumers. Recent biofilm investigations with the aim of potential control approaches include a combination of bacterial
genetics, systems biology, materials and mechanic engineering and chemical biology
