German
Noun
Biofilm m (strong, genitive Biofilms, plural Biofilme)
- (biology, medicine) biofilm (a thin film of mucus created by and containing a colony of bacteria and other microorganisms)
- Viele Mundbakterien lassen sich im Labor nicht in Reinkultur züchten. Das liegt daran, dass sie sich als Teil eines artenübergreifenden Biofilms entwickelt haben und auf die Interaktion mit anderen Mitgliedern der Gemeinschaft angewiesen sind. Inzwischen wurden In-vitro-Biofilm-Modelle entwickelt, mit denen komplexe orale Biofilme gezüchtet werden können, einschließlich bisher nicht kultivierter Bakterienarten.
- Many oral bacteria cannot be grown in pure culture in the laboratory. This is because they have evolved as part of a multi‐species biofilm and are dependent on interactions with other community members. In‐vitro biofilm models have now been developed that enable complex oral biofilms to be grown, including previously uncultivated bacterial species.
