Escherichia coli attachment to model particulates: The effects of bacterial cell characteristics and particulate properties.
E. coli bacteria move in streams freely in a planktonic state or attached to suspended particulates. Attachment is a dynamic process, and the fraction of attached microorganisms is thought to be affected by both bacterial characteristics and particulate properties. In this study, we investigated how...
