| Abstract | Biofilms have a dynamic and complex architecture that is now being recognized as having significance in many environments. The formation of biofilms depends on the substrate properties, nutrient availability and flow hydrodynamics (Bryers, 2000). The aim of this article is to investigate the cells attachment of Bacillus to stainless steel. Bacillus species readily attached and grew on stainless steel surfaces, forming mature biofilms in 6 h on a surface inoculated with the bacteria. The objective of this study was to investigate if biofilm formation occurs and examines the most important aspects involved in bacterial attachment to a surface. |
