Abstract
The data on the composition and structure of the components comprising the extracellular polymer matrix of bacterial biofilms, the role of these components, and their functions in the biofilm are reviewed. The main biochemical mechanisms regulating the biosynthesis of biofilm matrix are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
