Dental plaque is a bacterial film on the teeth.

It also feeds on the bacterial film that grows on the surface of mussels.

So far, however, most synthetic biology accomplishments have been like the bacterial film - somewhat bizarre demonstrations of things that can easily be done with electronics.

Biomphalaria glabrata feeds on bacterial films, algae, diatoms and decaying macrophytes.

A new form of protection has been developed by applying certain species of bacterial films to the surface of metals in highly corrosive environments.

Many epiphytes grow on the grasses, and algae, diatoms and bacterial films cover the surface of the leaf blades.

In cases of pericoronitis, food or plaque (a bacterial film that remains on teeth after eating) may get caught underneath a flap of gum around the tooth.

To make the bacterial film, common E. coli bacteria were given genes that cause a black pigment to be produced only when the bacteria are in the dark.

CFSGAS systems, as the name imply, are designed to handle continuous flow, and do not provide a bed for a bacterial film, relying rather on bacteria suspended in the wastewater.

A clonal colony would be well exemplified by a bacterial culture colony, or the bacterial films that are more likely to be found in vivo (e.g., in infected multicellular hosts).

Although little is known regarding the biology of this cavesnail, it is believed that the species feeds on aquatic microfauna (i.e., the microscopic, bacterial film or "biofilm" which does appear to be ingested by the cavesnail).

Grazing of that bacterial film could have been accomplished by the work of numerous hair-like organs, cilia, located on the ventral side of the body, which caught and transported particles of the food substrate into the special elongated pockets arranged on the borders between the isomers.
