Abstract
The control of bacteria attached to surfaces - commonly known as biofilm - is becoming recognized as perhaps the most important function of an industrial microbiological program. We describe here a versatile laboratory method for the generation of reproducible biofilms and demonstrate its utility in assessing the biofilm eradication ability of several common industrial oxidizing and non-oxidizing biocides.
