Zusammenfassung:	This review summarizes the information concerning the following applications of microbial biofilms in biotechnology: the biodegradation of organic substances and other contaminants during wastewater treatment, biosynthesis, and biocatalysis. The main types of reactors for implementing biotechnical processes based on microbial biofilms are discussed. The advantages and drawbacks of biocatalysts in the form of microbial biofilms for the biotransformation of organic substances are examined.
