ABSTRACT

Bacteria can form a three-dimensional structure known as a biofilm, which can be formed on virtually any surface, including plants. Although plantmicroorganism interactions are often associated with pathogenesis, biofilms have been studied not only as a survival mechanism for bacteria but also as a means of establishing symbiotic relationships between bacteria and plants. This article analyzes the formation of biofilms and the beneficial aspects of this association for plants, such as improved nutrient availability and protection against pathogens. Additionally, the article explores how agricultural practices are taking advantage of this interaction.
