- Planktonic cells- These are free cells or free-floating cells. In other words, they are not attached to any surfaces. Examples- culturing bacteria in the flask (in the lab) with 200 rpm, acute bacterial infection in the blood.
- Biofilms- These are surface-attached bacteria. The biofilm formation may be divided into phases- initiation includes a bacterial approach to surface and adhering, followed by microcolony formation, mature biofilms
- Dispersed cells- these are bacterial cells which come out from biofilms. This part is not very very clear amongst the biofilm world.

To understand the concept of biofilms we must know three phenotypes of bacteria
