Bacterial cells often exist in the form of sessile aggregates known as biofilms. Such biofilms are capable of producing adhesive Extracellular Polymeric Substances (EPS) or matrix. The biofilm matrix is often composed of biopolymers such as polysaccharide, proteins, and extracellular DNA (eDNA). Add...
