dc.description.abstractBiofilms are aggregates of diverse communities of microorganisms that are attached to living or inert surfaces. Microorganisms attach irreversibly to various surfaces and produce many extracellular polymers, which facilitate their growth, resulting in a matrix formation. The extracellular components, which make up the biofilm matrix, are primarily composed of water, proteins, nucleic acids, lipids, exopolysaccharides, and various other biopolymers that can vary depending on the microorganisms and different growth conditions. Matrix proteins play a vital role in the structure and stability of biofilm. The integrity of cells attached to biofilm is regulated by extracellular proteins, which supply nutrients and support the growth of microorganisms. In this chapter, we discuss biofilm composition and the function of proteins in the extracellular matrix. � 2022 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.en_US
