Stage 1, initial attachment; stage 2, irreversible attachment; stage 3, maturation I; stage 4, maturation II; stage 5, dispersion. Each stage of development in the diagram is paired with a photomicrograph of a developing P. aeruginosa biofilm. All photomicrographs are shown to same scale. | | van der Waals forces | cell adhesion | pili | adhesion | aqueous | solution | bacteria | archaea | protozoa | fungi | algae | metabolic | phagocytes | amoebae | polymeric | extracellular polymeric substance | nutrients | fossilized | detergents | antibiotics | Biofilm in Yellowstone National Park.
