This review will examine the connection between the bacterial phosphoenolpyruvate:sugar phosphotransferase system and biofilms. We will consider both the primary role of the phosphoenolpyruvate:sugar phosphotransferase system in sugar uptake by biofilm cells and its possible role in regulatory processes in cells growing as biofilms, and in establishment and maintenance of these biofilms.
