Bacterial adherence to hydrocarbons: a useful technique for studying cell surface hydrophobicity
Open accessAbstract
Bacterial adherence to hydrocarbons (BATH) is a simple and rapid technique for determining cell-surface hydrophobicity. During recent years, this method has found application in the study of the surface characteristics of a wide variety of bacteria and bacterial mixtures. Correlations have been found between the adherence of bacteria to hydrocarbons and their attachment to other surfaces, including non-wettable plastics, epithelial cells, and teeth. A slight modification of the assay enables the isolation of nonhydrophobic mutants. The present publication briefly describes the technique and its modifications, summarizes results obtained using this method, and suggests several directions for further investigation.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
