The attachment and colonization process of microorganisms on a carrier is an interdisciplinary research field. Through a series of physical, chemical, and biological actions, the microorganisms can eventually reproduce on the carrier. This article introduces biofilm start-up and its applications, and explores the current issues to look forward to future development directions. Firstly, the mechanism of microbial film formation is analyzed from the microbial community colonization and reproduction process. Secondly, when analyzing the factors influencing microbial membrane formation, the effect of microbial properties (e.g., genes, proteins, lipids) and external conditions (i.e., carrier, operating environment, and regulation mechanism among microbial communities) were discussed in depth. Aimed at exploring the mechanisms and influencing factors of biofilm start-up, this article proposes the application measures to strengthen this process. Finally, the problems encountered and the future development direction of the technology are analyzed and prospected.
