Annotation	Many microorganisms (e.g., bacteria, yeast, algae) are known to form a multilayered structure composed of cells and extracellular matrix. Such a formation is known as the biofilm. In this contribution we focus on the bacteria Burkholderia sacchari which accumulates biodegradable polyesters, namely the most common member of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs), poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB). Therefore, we investigated planktonic cells and biofilm cells. Elucidation of the basic mechanisms of the biofilm formation and its influence on polyesters formation within the cells would contribute to deeper understanding of the basic biochemical mechanisms underlying this process and developing new and more efficient strategies for the utilization of bacteria for biotechnological applications.
