Bacterial colonies and biofilms play an important role in many aspects of human life. Communities formed by harmful bacteria are responsible for human and animal infections and food spoilage, but beneficial bacteria find applications in water treatment and other waste processing. Rather unsurprisingly, a great deal of research has been undertaken into all aspects of their nature, especially into biofilm control and prevention. Traditional approaches to control bacterial growth have focused upon using chemicals to kill bacteria or inhibit their replication, such as antibiotics. However, bacteria can quickly develop resistance to antibiotics. This is because resistant mutants that emerge spontaneously in bacterial colonies outgrow se...
