Electrophoretic mobility and hydrophobicity as a measured to predict the initial steps of bacterial adhesion
Open accessAbstract
The relationship between physiochemical surface parameters and adhesion of bacterial cells to negatively charged polystyrene was studied. Cell surface hydrophobicity and electrokinetic potential were determined by contact angle measurement and electrophoresis, respectively. Both parameters influence cell adhesion. The effect of the electrokinetic potential increases with decreasing hydrophobicity. Cell surface characteristics determining adhesion are influenced by growth conditions. At high growth rates, bacterial cells tend to become more hydrophobic. This fact can be of ecological significance for controlling the spread of bacteria throughout the environment.

Bioadhesion depends mainly on a combination of surface physico-chemical properties of both the cell and the solid substratum, including Lewis acid-base character, capacity to exchange attractive van der Waals interactions, and global surface charge.
“Various studies have demonstrated that bioadhesion depends mainly on combination of surface physico-chemical properties (such as Lewis acid-base character, capacity to exchange attractive van der Waals interactions, and global surface charge) of both the cell and the solid substratum [5,16,17].”

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.
