Abstract excerpt
Pseudomonads adapt to various ecological niches by forming biofilms, which first requires bacterial adhesion on surfaces. We studied the influence of growth temperature on surface physicochemical properties of Pseudomonas fluorescens MF37 and on its adhesive capacities onto inert surfaces. It presented a global hydrophilic character, measured by microbial adhesion to solvent (MATS), and showed a cell surface more...
