Divergent composition of algal-bacterial biofilms developing under various external factors (2005, background): “Little information is available on the changes in biofilm composition with age, from bare surfaces to mature biofilms, with reference to the carbon allocation (extracellular-intracellular) between the biofilm components (Smith & Underwood, 1998; Decho, 2000).”
