Let's discuss first about difference between micro- and macro-nutrients. Micronutrients are those which are needed in small quantities and their function is not that vast. But macronutrients are the ones which control all the metabolic cycles of the cell, so they are needed in large quantities. This is the basic difference between the two terms.

Proteins are macro-nutrients because they are needed in large amount, as they are involved in some of the most important functions of our body. For example, proteins act as enzymes, involved in immunity, maintaining homeostasis of the body, etc. That is why they are considered as macronutrients.

The biofilm can present one of the most important species of microorganisms, depending on the duration and its location. Gram-positive, Gram-negative and yeast. In addition, the cellular elements may be attached to the biofilm, such as platelets, for example, when the biofilm is installed on the blood-soaked surface.Several factors contribute to the formation of biofilms.

The physical chemical properties of the surface, the nutritional composition and ambient temperature will also interfere with this speed. The presence of antimicrobials in the medium may affect the formation of biofilms.
