Pilus
What is a biofilm?
biofilms are found at the interface between a liquid and a solid or a liquid and a gas. for example on the surface of a rock in the sea or the surface of a lake. the are found in nearly all non-sterile environments where such an interface exists. for example: teeth hulls of boats medical implants water pipes
Where are these bacteria?
bacteria is everywhere in your water, in your body, on your food pretty much everywhere in the universe.
Is bacteria found in a prairie?

What part of the bacteria cell helps it stick to?
Fimbria are also called Pili . Theseaare small out growths on surface of bacteria. they are much smaller as compared to flagella . they are made up of pilin protein . they help in attachment of bacteria .they are in n.m. range in length .
What part of the bacteria cell helps it stick to surfaces?
Pilus
Why is sewage mixed with air?
Sanitary sewage is treated in plants that mix the raw sewage with bacteria to consume the waste materials. The nature of these bacteria is that they need oxygen to live and grow (they are aerobic bacteria). The plant equipment mixes air into the sewage to increase the transfer of oxygen to the water at much higher rates than quiescent conditions. A an added advantage this mixes the bacteria and sewage so that the bacterial population is much higher and the treatment much faster. The "full" bacteria are separated from the clean water which is discharged to surface watercourses.
