Most of the slime is polysaccharides released by bacteria! There are hundreds of types of bacteria in kitchens, refrigerators, and bathrooms.
"Biofilm" is formed in environments where bacteria are present, provided there are adequate nutrients and moisture, and can develop not only at room temperature but also at low temperatures, characterized by its sliminess. Much of the sliminess is due to polysaccharides released by the bacteria. The majority of the volume consists of high molecular weight sugars (extracellular polysaccharides: EPS) that are produced by microorganisms. The type of biofilm that forms varies depending on the environmental conditions and the degree of bacterial species mixing and growth.

Company information
In addition to our environmental analysis business, we conduct a wide range of contract analysis as a partner for researchers and engineers who "support science." We have started to offer services for measuring antioxidant capacity in functional foods (using SOD-like activity measurement kits and the DPPH method), analyzing enzyme activity and enzyme inhibition activity, and various fatty acid analyses. Recently, we have begun contract analysis for measuring biofilm formation and inhibition, as well as assessing the effects of biofilm agents, continuously challenging ourselves in new areas.
