    Abstract:

    Abstract:Biofilm is a prevalent lifestyle in nature and closely related to the life and production of humans.Bacillus subtilis is an important industrial strain and a good model for biofilm research.Combined with our current studies,we reviewed significant progress on biofilm formation by Bacillus subtilis,including main process,characteristics of biofilm formation,research models,and regulatory pathway for biofilm formation.In addition,further research focuses are addressed.
