Question
Chapter 27.2, Problem 2CS
Summary Introduction
To determine: A flow diagram showing sequential stages of formation of dental plaque biofilm with reference to figure 27.8 given in the textbook. Also indicate which type of bacteria among purple, green, and blue will attach to the surface first.
Introduction: Biofilm is an aggregation and accumulation of microorganisms that secrete various types of adhesive mucilage and glue themselves to the surfaces. These biofilms allow microbes to live in a location that are favorable for their growth.
