A schematic illustrates rod-shaped bacteria (bacilli) embedded within a dome-shaped biofilm adherent to a solid surface. The cells are encased in an extracellular polymeric substance (EPS), shown as a yellow matrix bounded by a purple interface. In the biological hierarchy, individual prokaryotic cells reside within a multicellular biofilm community attached to a substrate. In microbiology and biofilm physiology, this matrix facilitates surface adhesion, nutrient retention, quorum signaling, and increased tolerance to desiccation and antimicrobial agents.
