Hydrophobic nature and effects of culture conditions on biofilm formation by the cellulolytic actinomycete <em>Thermobifida fusca</em>

Hydrophobic nature and effects of culture conditions on biofilm formation by the cellulolytic actinomycete <em>Thermobifida fusca</em>

<em>Thermobifida fusca</em> produces a firmly attached biofilm on nutritive and non-nutritive surfaces, such as cellulose, glass, plastic, metal and Teflon<sup>&reg;</sup>. The ability to bind to surfaces has been suggested as a competitive advantage for microbes in soil...
