Exploitation of Biofilms for Dental Microbes and Use in Industries for Bioremediation and Biofertilizers in Agriculture
Aradhana Dohroo [3] | D. R. Thakur
Abstract: Biofilm production by the microorganisms is for and against the human beings. It is being exploited in microbial infections in tools and lungs as well as industries for use in bioremediation against industrial effluents and organic farming for enhancing agricultural productivity through biofilm - biofertilizer production. Biofilms are one of the lifestyles of microbial organisms wherein they are attached to an inert or living surface by polymeric matrix surfaces. In this review efforts have been made to highlight the use of biofilm associated infections against the human diseases, solving ground contamination from an oil spill and healthcare as well as for bioremediation and also biofertilizer production in agriculture for which multidisciplinary research efforts are warranted.
Keywords: Biofilms, bioremediation, biofertilizers
