The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Improving the safety of fresh meat (2005, background): “Bacteria commonly exist in microecosystems where they are attached to one another and/or to a surface (Prakash et al., 2003).”
Protease and amylase enzymes for biofilm removal and degradation of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) produced by Pseudomonas fluorescens bacteria (2010, background): “It was indicated in previous studies that biofilms growing in high nutrient medium were more abundant, densely packed and thicker (Allison et al., 2000; Prakash et al., 2003; Rochex and Lebeault, 2007).”
Exploring the secrets of the three-dimensional architecture of phototrophic biofilms in caves (2009, background): “They provide protection for growth, enabling microorganisms to survive hostile environments (Prakash et al., 2003) and are significant in sediment stabilization and construction (Golubic & Schneider, 2003).”
