Abstract

A community of microorganisms adhered to a solid surface and entrapped in a self-produced extracellular polymeric matrix, in general is referred to as a ‘biofilm’. Biofilm formation is a phenomenon naturally exhibited by the majority of microorganisms, (except a few like Pelagibacter and some planktonic bacteria). The trait of biofilm formation by the microorganisms allows them to survive in harsh environments, important for their existence and sustenance. To form biofilms, microorganisms possess a supportive genetic makeup, which enables them to function and grow in a coordinated manner. Surprisingly at present, there is a lack of proper consensus regarding the utilization of technique and methodologies available in the precise analysis, growth and characterization of biofilms. The current review aims to bridge this gap by presenting a detailed review of the available study methods and tools the most promising in the detection, growth and characterization of biofilms. The selection of the most appropriate biofilm study and analysis method in a given situation is of utmost importance in order to understand the formation and prospective fruitful utilization of biofilms by humankind.

生物膜研究方法的优势和局限性
一般来说,粘附在固体表面并被包裹在自我产生的胞外聚合物基质中的微生物群落被称为 "生物膜"。生物膜的形成是大多数微生物(除了天竺细菌和一些浮游细菌等少数微生物)的自然现象。微生物形成生物膜的特性使它们能够在恶劣的环境中生存,这对它们的生存和维系非常重要。要形成生物膜,微生物必须具备支持性基因构成,使其能够以协调的方式运作和生长。令人惊讶的是,目前在利用现有技术和方法对生物膜进行精确分析、生长和特征描述方面还缺乏适当的共识。本综述旨在通过对生物膜检测、生长和表征方面最有前景的现有研究方法和工具进行详细评述,弥补这一不足。在特定情况下,选择最合适的生物膜研究和分析方法对于了解生物膜的形成和人类对生物膜的富有成效的利用前景至关重要。

期刊介绍: Applied Biochemistry and Microbiology is an international peer reviewed journal that publishes original articles on biochemistry and microbiology that have or may have practical applications. The studies include: enzymes and mechanisms of enzymatic reactions, biosynthesis of low and high molecular physiologically active compounds; the studies of their structure and properties; biogenesis and pathways of their regulation; metabolism of producers of biologically active compounds, biocatalysis in organic synthesis, applied genetics of microorganisms, applied enzymology; protein and metabolic engineering, biochemical bases of phytoimmunity, applied aspects of biochemical and immunochemical analysis; biodegradation of xenobiotics; biosensors; biomedical research (without clinical studies). Along with experimental works, the journal publishes descriptions of novel research techniques and reviews on selected topics.
