 Mechanisms will vary depending on the organism described, some of which include the involvement of proteins in the cytoplasmic membrane, slime extrusion, and type IV pili. Examples of advantages could include biofilm formation on a surface, increased pathogenesis or movement towards a different habitat with new resources.
