Microorganisms attach to surfaces and develop biofilms. Biofilm-associated cells can be differentiated from their suspended counterparts by generation of an extracellular polymeric substance (EPS) matrix, reduced growth rates, and the up-and down-regulation of specific genes.iofilms are composed primarily of microbial cells and EPS.
