  • Most bacteria live in biofilms, the structure of which depends on the biofilm matrix. This matrix is composed of extracellular polymeric substances, which are compounds that are produced by the bacteria. Here, Flemming and Wingender describe the properties of the matrix and provide an overview of the individual matrix components.

  • Numerous metabolic functions, social interactions and survival mechanisms are specific to, or more pronounced in, biofilms than in planktonic cells. In this Review, Flemming and colleagues highlight the central role of the self-produced matrix in establishing these 'emergent properties' of biofilms.

  • In this Analysis article, Flemming and Wuertz calculate the total number of bacteria and archaea on Earth and estimate the fraction that lives in biofilms. They propose that biofilms are the most prominent and influential type of microbial life.
