Influence of Substratum Wettability on Attachment of Freshwater Bacteria to Solid Surfaces
Open accessAbstract
We studied the attachment of a number of freshwater bacteria from River Sowe, Coventry, England, to test substrata. The attachment of each organism to hydrophobic and hydrophilic surfaces was evaluated, and further studies evaluated the attachment of selected isolates to a number of substrata with a range of water wettabilities. The wettability of each substratum was determined by contact angle measurements and was expressed as the work of adhesion (W A ). No generic pattern of attachment to the test surfaces was found, although the majority of the organisms isolated showed a preference for the hydrophobic surface. A more detailed study of selected isolates showed a relationship between W A and number of attached cells. Each bacterium attached in maximum numbers to a surface that was characteristic of that organism and that had a W A between 75 and 105 mJ m −2 .

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.
