Biofilms have great potential for producing valuable products more efficiently than suspended cultivations when it comes to yield and productivity. In addition, biofilms have the advantage of cell protection and increased resistance to environmental influences. Therefore, productive biofilms are used in biofilm reactors to produce value-added products. A summary of possible applications for biofilm reactors is given here. In addition, the surfaces on which biofilms are cultivated are briefly explained. The possibility of using biofilms is not limited to prokaryotic systems. Thus, eukaryotic systems can also be cultivated as biofilms to produce valuable products. Therefore, both prokaryotic and eukaryotic productive biofilms will be described in this review. In the case of eukaryotic systems, fungal biofilms and plant biofilms will be discussed. The biofilm formation of the different cell types is listed and the productivity of a cell line on a corresponding substrate is summarized. Finally, the investigation methods of biofilms are discussed, as these methods are essential to understanding biofilms. © 2022 The Authors.

生产性生物膜：从原核到真核系统

在产量和生产力方面，生物膜具有比暂停栽培更有效地生产有价值产品的巨大潜力。此外，生物膜还具有保护细胞和增加对环境影响的抵抗力的优势。因此，在生物膜反应器中使用生产性生物膜来生产增值产品。此处总结了生物膜反应器的可能应用。此外，简要说明了培养生物膜的表面。使用生物膜的可能性不仅限于原核系统。因此，真核系统也可以培养为生物膜来生产有价值的产品。因此，本综述将描述原核和真核生产性生物膜。在真核系统的情况下，将讨论真菌生物膜和植物生物膜。列出了不同细胞类型的生物膜形成，并总结了细胞系在相应底物上的生产力。最后，讨论了生物膜的研究方法，因为这些方法对于理解生物膜至关重要。© 2022 作者。John Wiley & Sons Ltd 代表化学工业协会 (SCI) 出版的《化学技术和生物技术杂志》。
