Most of the world’s bacteria exist in robust, sessile communities known as biofilms, ubiquitously predominate in most of the environmental, bacteria predominate, industrial, and medical processes. Even though Lamino acids are the dominant substrates for ribosome-based protein synthesis, several roles for D-amino acids in other biological processes have been found. This review summarized the previous researches on the effects that the D-amino acids have on the synthesis of extracellular polymeric substances in biofilms, the bacteria cell walls and signal molecule autoinducer-2 in recent years.
