Abstract: Biofilm is the stepping stone towards the establishment of a hard fouling community. Often swept off as a slimy mass, they are a community in totality, posing grave threat to man and materials. The intricate process of biofilm development, including conditioning film formation, initial attachment and aggregation, maturation and subsequent dispersal has been discussed in detail in this review.
Keywords: Biofilm; microfouling; conditioning film; microcolonies, exopolysaccharide.
