Abstract | Bacterial biofilms, frequently in association with algae, protozoa and fungi, are found on all submerged structures in the marine environment. Biofilms are responsible for a range of surface‐associated and diffusible signals, which may moderate the settling behaviour of cells, spores and larvae. Thus, marine microorganisms are a new source of bioactive compounds, which enhance or inhibit the settlement of organisms. |
