| Biofouling is ubiquitous in marine environment, and bacteria are among the first organisms to foul surfaces. They form biofilms which serve as focus for the attachment and growth of other organisms, such as invertebrates, sessile plants, and animals (Davis et al., 1989). Mature marine biofouling communities are complex, highly dynamic ecosystems (Fig.1) and once established are extremely difficult to eradicate (Holmstrom et al., 2002). For this reason the understanding of the mechanisms leading to marine bacterial attachment and its subsequent biofilm development are of great biological importance with obvious potential industrial outcomes. This development is conditioned by complex processes involving bacterial attachment to surfaces, growth, cell-to-cell... |
