Study of Biofilm Formation by Phosphate Solubilising Bacteria on Rare Earth Elements Phosphate Minerals

Klebsiella aerogenes, a phosphate-solubilising microorganism, formed biofilm on monazite in three stages: initial attachment, mature biofilm, and dispersion. The eDNA produced aids in initial attachment and mechanical stability. Biofilm was formed on and around physical imperfections, leading to min...
