The Biofilm Lifestyle Involves an Increase in Bacterial Membrane Saturated Fatty Acids

Biofilm formation on contact surfaces contributes to persistence of foodborne pathogens all along the food and feed chain. The specific physiological features of bacterial cells embedded in biofilms contribute to their high tolerance to environmental stresses, including the action of antimicrobial c...
