Mechanisms of Attachment of Marine Bacteria to Solid Surfaces.

Abstract

The development of slimy films on solid surfaces exposed to sea water has long been thought to be caused in part by micro-organisms. The objectives of the present work were to relate, the chemical, physical and structural properties of cell surfaces of bacteria to their propensity for attachment to solid surfaces.
