Zusammenfassung:There are many different kinds of microorganisms in the soil, and many of them are biofilms because they can make supracellular compounds. Surface-associated microorganisms in a biofilm are encased in a hydrated extracellular polymeric substance that aids in adherence and survival. Numerous different kinds of microorganisms call the soil home. Strong interactions with and among species are made possible by biofilms; this, in turn, might increase the effectiveness with which organic compounds and poisons in soil are degraded. This encouraged us to take a close look at soil biofilm ecosystems, which we do in this paper. In this research, we will look at how soil biofilms arise and how that affects the composition of microbial communities and their function in the soil. Recent years have seen an uptick in interest in questions about biofilm structure and the social interactions of various bacteria. Many concepts elucidating the underlying mathematics of biofilm growth are also presented. Since biofilms are so widespread, this breakthrough in soil biofilm inquiry might help scientists understand soil microbiomes better. Mathematical models further extrapolate the relationships between microbial communities and gives a more precise information as to what is happening in a biofilm. Biofilms can help plants cope with a variety of environmental challenges. Soil quality, plant nourishment, plant protection, bioremediation, and climate change are all influenced by the interplay of biofilm communities. Thus, biofilms play an important role in the development of environmentally friendly and sustainable agriculture.
