Biofilms are a major concern within the food industry since they have the potential to reduce productivity in situ (within the field), impact food stability and storage, and cause downstream food poisoning. Within this review, predatory bacteria as potential biofilm control and eradication agents are discussed, with a particular emphasis on the intraperiplasmic -and-like organism (BALO) grouping. After providing a brief overview of predatory bacteria and their activities, focus is given to how BALOs fulfill four attributes that are essential for biocontrol agents to be successful in the food industry: (1) Broad spectrum activity against pathogens, both plant and human; (2) Activity against biofilms; (3) Safety towards humans and animals; and (4) Compatibility with food. As predatory bacteria possess all of these characteristics, they represent a novel form of biofilm biocontrol that is ripe for use within the food industry.
生物膜是食品工业中的一个主要问题，因为它们有可能降低现场（田间）生产力、影响食品稳定性和储存，并导致下游食物中毒。在这篇综述中，讨论了作为潜在生物膜控制和根除剂的捕食性细菌，特别强调了周质内细菌样生物（BALO）类群。在简要概述捕食性细菌及其活动之后，重点关注BALO如何满足生物控制剂在食品工业中取得成功所必需的四个属性：（1）对植物和人类病原体的广谱活性；（2）对生物膜的活性；（3）对人类和动物的安全性；（4）与食品的兼容性。由于捕食性细菌具备所有这些特征，它们代表了一种新型的生物膜生物控制形式，在食品工业中使用时机已经成熟。
