Bacterial communities form biofilms on a wide range of surfaces by synthesizing a cohesive and protective extracellular matrix. The morphology, internal structure and mechanical stability of a biofilm are largely determined by its constituent polymers. In addition to mediating adhesion to surfaces, biofilms control the uptake of molecules and regulate the permeability of the matrix to gases and chemicals.
