Abstract：
Microbial biofilms present one of the most widespread forms of life on Earth. The formation of microbial communities on various surfaces presents a major challenge in a variety of fields, including medicine, the food industry, shipping, etc. At the same time, this process can also be used for the benefit of humans-in bioremediation, wastewater treatment, and various biotechnological processes. The main direction of using electroactive microbial biofilms is their incorporation into the composition of biosensor and biofuel cells This review examines the fundamental knowledge acquired about the structure and formation of biofilms, the properties they have when used in bioelectrochemical devices, and the characteristics of the formation of these structures on different surfaces. Special attention is given to the potential of applying the latest advances in genetic engineering in order to improve the performance of microbial biofilm-based devices and to regulate the processes that take place within them. Finally, we highlight possible ways of dealing with the drawbacks of using biofilms in the creation of highly efficient biosensors and biofuel cells.
摘要：
微生物生物膜是地球上最普遍的生命形式之一。微生物群落在各种表面上的形成对各个领域提出了重大挑战，包括医学,食品工业,航运,等。同时,这个过程也可以用于人类的利益-在生物修复，废水处理,和各种生物技术过程。使用电活性微生物生物膜的主要方向是将其纳入生物传感器和生物燃料电池的组成。它们在生物电化学装置中使用时的特性，以及这些结构在不同表面上形成的特征。特别关注应用基因工程最新进展的潜力，以改善基于微生物生物膜的设备的性能并调节其中发生的过程。最后,我们强调了在创建高效生物传感器和生物燃料电池中使用生物膜的缺点的可能方法。
