single-species biofilm formation

Term ID

GO:0044010

Synonyms

auto-aggregation
bfp-dependent aggregation
bundle-forming fimbriae-dependent aggregation
bundle-forming pili-dependent aggregation
tfp-dependent aggregation
type IV pili-dependent aggregation

Definition

A process in which planktonically growing microorganisms of the same species grow at a liquid-air interface or on a solid substrate under the flow of a liquid and produce extracellular polymers that facilitate matrix formation, resulting in a change in the organisms' growth rate and gene transcription.
