Provide some information regarding biofilms that you read about in your textbook, on the internet (use a valid resource site), or any other source that you found related to biofilms in general. This can include characteristics, types of organisms that may be present, locations, what type of outcome they can lead to, etc. This particular topic has a lot of information overall, so write about something you fınd interesting!arrow_forward
- Because so few organisms can be successfully cultivated in the laboratory, studying only those that have been isolated often does not give an accurate picture of what actually happens in nature. Discuss why is that so and give an alternative approach to study the microbial community.arrow_forwardWhich type of mutualism (obligate or facultative) was described by the authors in this study? In less than one paragraph, explain specifically why you think it is that particular type of mutualism.

Relate ecological concepts to micro scale. Recognize that the types of interactions that occur between macroscopic organisms can also occur on the microscopic scale. Give examples of predations, mutualism, neutralism, and antagonism in the microscopic world. Distinguish between mutualism and synergism. Distinguish between predation and parasitism. Describe the steps in biofilm formation. Describe how quorum sensing is involved in biofilm formation Describe how microbial populations interact within a living biofilmand describe the advantages to living in a biofilm and the genetic changes that occur in cells that adopt this lifestyle.arrow_forward
