 Biofilms are complex communities of microorganisms that form when bacteria adhere to surfaces and grow together into a slime-like matrix. These communities are often found in industrial settings where they can cause damage to equipment and infrastructure. Biofilms can also pose a threat to public health as they can lead to infection and disease transmission. In order to combat these threats, scientists have developed methods to disrupt biofilm formation and growth. One method involves using natural compounds found in plants, such as linalol and eugenol, to interfere with the communication between bacteria cells and prevent the formation of a biofilm. By targeting the signaling molecule used by bacteria to communicate, these compounds can effectively disrupt the formation of a biofilm and reduce the spread of infection.
