What are Biofilms?
Biofilms are a complex matrix of bacteria, fungi, and algae bound together in a sticky gel of polysaccharide and other organic contaminants attached to a surface.
They produce a slime layer in which they live that anchors them firmly to a surface and provides a protective environment to grow and reproduce.
Biofilms generally form on any surface that is exposed to water or other liquids and are consequently found in many industrial and medical systems. It is the only EPA registered product utilized for poultry grow-out operations.
