ABSTRACT-: Attachment of mycobacteria involved in biofilm formation in the liquid air interface is a complex process, with many variables such as pH, nutrient levels, iron, oxygen, ionic strength and temperature, affecting the outcome. The standard Microtiter plate assay was used in the present study to observe the effect of pH, temperature, and in MB7H9 medium as well as Sauton’s medium on non tuberculosis mycobacteria like M. smegmatis, M. fortuitum, M avium and M. tuberculosis (H37Rv). The large quantity of biofilm was produced by M.smegmatis at temperature 37oC and 42 0C as compared to 300C. M. fortuitum developed more amount of biofilm at 30oC as compared to 37oC and 42oC. M.avium developed strong amount of biofilm at 30oC and 42oC as compared to 370C. M tuberculosis developed strong biofilm at 37 0C and no biofilm at 300C and 420C in MB 7H9 media and Sauton’s media.
