Abstract: 

Little is known about the functions of the principal matrix components and about the role of cell surface structures in the formation and stabilization of Azospirillum biofilms. It is known that as compared with A. brasilense strain Sp245, its flhB1, fabG1, and mmsB1 mutants, defective in flagellar assembly, form biofilms less well. We made comparative study of bacterial aggregation, biofilm formation, and the effect of DNAase on biofilms. The results show that in planktonic culture, cell aggregation determines the initial stages in biofilm formation but does not contribute to biomass growth in mature films (observed most clearly with the mutants). Extracellular DNA is part of a multicomponent system that ensures the affinity of biofilms to physicochemically different surfaces and the structural integrity of biofilms.
