The application of advanced microscopy and molecular and electrochemical high-resolution methods has provided insights into the structural organization and function of biofilm communities. It appears that cellular properties such as growth differentiation, chemotaxis, and cell-to-cell signaling enable biofilm communities to organize structurally in response to the external conditions and the activities of the different biofilm members. Thereby resource utilization becomes optimized, and processes which require syntrophic relationships or special micro-environments become facilitated.
先进显微镜技术以及分子和电化学高分辨率方法的应用，为深入了解生物膜群落的结构组织和功能提供了线索。似乎诸如生长分化、趋化作用和细胞间信号传导等细胞特性，使生物膜群落能够根据外部条件和不同生物膜成员的活动进行结构组织。由此，资源利用得以优化，需要互营关系或特殊微环境的过程也变得更加容易。
