5. Non-Aqueous Phase Liquids. (Chlorinated compounds or petroleum hydrocarbon)

9. Organic Pollutants Microbes! To the rescue Non toxic: N 2 + CO 2

10. Eastern India

13. Secretion of exopolysaccharide (EPS)

16. Quorum Sensing Quorum Sensing is a system of behaviors that are triggered as a function of population density. Ex: Gene expression for signaling molecules that facilitate the development of the biofilm is activated after the population reaches a certain level Ex: Pseudomonas aeruginosa uses quorum sensing to coordinate movement, EPS production, cell aggregation and the formation of biofilms (Figure 6) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJ WKWYQfSi0&feature=related https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJ WKWYQfSi0&feature=related

19. Viruses are efficient in eradicating biofilms because they are able to spread through the biofilm community infecting the inner layers of biofilms and are able to target specific bacteria
