Effects of Cationic and Anionic Surfaces on the Perpendicular and Lateral Forces and Binding of <i>Aspergillus niger</i> Conidia

Effects of Cationic and Anionic Surfaces on the Perpendicular and Lateral Forces and Binding of <i>Aspergillus niger</i> Conidia

The binding of conidia to surfaces is a prerequisite for biofouling by fungal species. In this study, <i>Aspergillus niger</i> subtypes 1957 and 1988 were used which produced differently shaped conidia (round or spikey respectively). Test surfaces were characterised for their surface top...
