is widely recognized for its probiotic benefits and has been widely used in food production. While biofilms are typically associated with pathogenic bacteria, they also served as a self-protective mechanism formed by microorganisms in an adverse environments. In recent years, relevant studies have revealed the excellent characteristics of biofilms, offering new insights into their potential applications in the food industry. The biofilms is important in improving fermentation processes and enhancing the resilience of in various conditions. This paper reviews how quorum sensing regulates the formation of biofilms and explores their roles in stress resistance, bacteriostasis and food production. Additionally, it highlights the emerging concept of fourth-generation probiotics, developed through biofilm technology, as a novel approach to probiotic applications.
它因其益生菌益处而被广泛认可，并已广泛应用于食品生产。虽然生物膜通常与致病细菌相关，但它们也是微生物在不利环境中形成的一种自我保护机制。近年来，相关研究揭示了生物膜的优异特性，为其在食品工业中的潜在应用提供了新的见解。生物膜在改善发酵过程和增强在各种条件下的复原力方面很重要。本文综述了群体感应如何调节生物膜的形成，并探讨了它们在抗逆性、抑菌作用和食品生产中的作用。此外，它强调了通过生物膜技术开发的第四代益生菌这一新兴概念，作为益生菌应用的一种新方法。
