Starting from the planktonic form to microcolonies and maturing biofilm, an intracellular pool of carbohydrates, amino acids and lipids is required to facilitate the development of biomass required for the sessile growth period. Besides these, certain putative transcriptional regulators and DNA binding response regulators have also shown an increasing trend in biofilm stages. The differential expression of major metabolic pathways and cellular processes upregulated in biofilm stages are discussed in this section.","tracks":[]}
