We isolated a Bacillus sp. strain that could display broad-spectrum biofilm inhibition. The broad biofilm prevention could be achieved mainly by direct contact between inhibitor and target cells or was accompanied by an interaction with secreted inhibitory compounds. The repression of cell surface fimbria-like appendages of a biofilm producer was also observed; this was considered to contribute to the reduction in mixed biofilms.
