A review of current and emergent biofilm control strategies (2010, background): “…of the cell surface, particularly the presence of extracellular appendages, the interactions involved in cell–cell communication and EPS production are important for biofilm formation and development (Allison, 2003; Davies et al., 1998; Donlan, 2002; Parsek & Greenberg, 2005; Sauer & Camper, 2001).”
Multi-species biofilms: living with friendly neighbors. (2012, background): “Although some EPS components are common to most biofilms, the composition of the EPS matrix varies greatly depending on the bacterial species and environmental conditions (Flemming & Wingender, 2010).”
Critical review on biofilm methods (2017, background): “EPS are mainly composed of polysaccharides, eDNA and proteins secreted by cells within the biofilm, during its establishment and life (Das et al., 2011; Flemming & Wingender, 2010; Sutherland, 2001).”
Dental Plaque as a Microbial Biofilm (2004, background): “The matrix in biofilms can also bind and retain neutralizing enzymes (ß-lactamase, IgA protease; see above) [Allison, 2003].”
Silver Nanoparticles as Potential Antibacterial Agents (2015, background): “Biofilm extracellular polymeric substance is a conglomeration composed of DNA, proteins and polysaccharides [73].”
Bacterial Extracellular Polysaccharides in Biofilm Formation and Function (2015, methodology): “A wealth of knowledge has been gained regarding the composition and functions of PS components of the biofilm matrix by utilizing methods such as traditional genetic techniques combined with biochemistry and immunochemistry, lectin/carbohydrate stains, and microscopy (208).”
Biofilm Formation in Food Processing Environments is Still Poorly Understood and Controlled (2014, neutral): “chemical features of these aggregates [30].”
Dissolved organic matter (DOM) release by phytoplankton in the contemporary and future ocean (2014, background): “However, recent work has shown that extracellular DNA (eDNA) plays a significant structural role in the exopolymer matrix of many bacterial biofilms (reviewed by Flemming & Wingender, 2010).”
Stream Biofilm Responses to Flow Intermittency: From Cells to Ecosystems (2016, background): “Biofilms also respond with significant physiological plasticity to each of the hydrological changes.”
Bacterial Biofilms: Development, Dispersal, and Therapeutic Strategies in the Dawn of the Postantibiotic Era (2013, background): “2010), while protecting the biomass from desiccation, predation, oxidizing molecules, radiation, and other damaging agents (Walters et al. 2003; Jefferson et al. 2005; Mai-Prochnow et al. 2008; Flemming and Wingender 2010).”
Biofilms: Microbial Cities of Scientific Significance (2014, background): “Research studies have confirmed that the biofilms are highly complicated and form a cohesive three dimensional structure that is organized and interconnected with specialized functions [4].”

Resistance of bacterial biofilms to disinfectants: a review (2011, background): “As a general rule, a biofilm matrix is mainly composed of polysaccharides and proteins (Tsuneda et al. 2003) associated with lipids or nucleic acids (Flemming and Wingender 2010), but its composition may display qualitative and quantitative variations depending on the strains and the growth…”
