    The influence of natural organic substances and iron hydroxides on in vitro biofilm formation by groundwater microorganisms was assessed. The combination of these compounds stimulates the formation of large mucosal biofilms that absorb insoluble iron hydroxide particles. Organic substances are important regulators of biofilm formation. Therefore, the location of biofilms in pore space increases the risks of biocolmatage of this space.
