The formation and growth of biofilms on a solid surface are known to occur during in-situ bioremediation of contaminated soil, which inhibits the biodegradation of contaminants. Microbial adhesion to a solid surface such as soil surface has been suggested to be caused by cell-surface appendages, extracellular polymeric substances (EPS), and physico-chemical interaction between the cell and solid surface. In this study, we tried to explain the adhesion of P. putida NCIB 9816-4 with DLVO theory. DLVO theory was applied to explain the microbial adhesion to a genuine and a silanized (hydrophobic) silica gel with a mean diameter of 115μm. |
