Implications of Growth and Starvation Conditions in Bacterial Adhesion and Transport

Abstract: Biofouling is synonymous with unwanted biofilms and leads to problems ranging from efficiency and resource loss to health risks. While a number of bacterial properties including biomass concentration and hydrophobicity are considered critical to biofilm development and bacterial adhesion, the variations in these properties under growth and starvation conditions are not very well known. Here, we describe the trends in these properties for four Gram-negative bacteria under growth and extended starvation conditio… Show more

“…As seen from Table 3 , exponentially growing cells of four strains from the total seven showed an increase in their hydrophobicity compared to stationary phase cultures. Previous studies have also reported higher hydrophobicity of bacteria in the exponential phase (Loosdrecht et al 1987 ; Heise and Gust 1999 ; Jana et al 2000 ; Khemakhem et al 2005 ; Gargiulo et al 2007 ; Saini et al 2011 ), while an opposite trend, i.e. hydrophobicity increase with the cell age was observed by other researchers (Allison et al 1990 ; Nejidat et al 2004 ; Walker et al 2005 ; Zikmanis et al 2007 ).…”

“…Consistent with this notion, numerous microbial strains increase surface adhesion under energy limitation in laboratory experiments. The Gram-negative E. coli and Shewanella oneidensis trigger adhesion by increasing hydrophobicity of their outer cell membranes (Saini, Nasholm and Wood 2011). Vibrio sp.…”
