Microbial adhesion at the oil:water interface has been studied since the pioneering work of Mudd & Mudd (1924) in various contexts. A decade ago, microbial adhesion to hydrocarbons (MATH) was proposed as a general test for cellsurface hydrophobicity. Since that time, various modifications, ...
Microbial adhesion to hydrocarbons (MATH) is generally considered to be a measure of the organisms cell surface hydrophobicity. As microbial adhesion is a complicated interplay of long-range van der Waals and electrostatic forces and various short-range interactions, the above statement only holds ...

In order to identify possible phenomena responsible for incremental oil recovery, emulsification index (E24), surface tension, cell adhesion to hydrocarbons, and crude oil viscosity were characterized. The results demonstrate that IMP-(100, 200) consortia were able to recover heavy crude oil from ...
Probes in this anchoring of surface proteins, adhesion to host cells gene category consisted of 113 (7 sequence-specific and colonization of tissues (Cossart and Jonquie`res, and 106 group-specific) probes and were designed 2000; Mazmanian et al., 2001). Probes in this gene from adhesin A...
Microbial degradation of plastics is significantly hindered by their hydrophobicity, which impairs cell adhesion to plastic surfaces. Production of surface-active compounds by bacteria is of key importance for bacterial degradation of PE, since biosurfactants lower interfacial tension and facilitate bacterial...
borkumensis is a major organism initiating and mainly conducting the degradation of aliphatic hydrocarbons. As it is not able to degrade all components of the oil type used in the experiment, it obviously promotes the growth of other microbes possibly by providing better access to the substrate ...

It should directly enhance the cell viability as well as microbial adhesion. Electrostatic interaction between the electrode and microbe is an essential phenomenon that contributes to efficient bacterial metabolism in the abiotic–biotic interface. In addition, the electrode material should have lower ...
Extracellular polymeric substances(EPS) of microbial origin are a complex mixture of biopolymers comprising polysaccharides,proteins,nucleic acids,uronic acids,humics,lipids,and etc.Functionally, EPS aid in cell-to-cell aggregation,adhesion to substratum,formation of flocs,protection from desiccation and re...
