Bacterial adherence to polystyrene: a replica method of screening for bacterial hydrophobicity.

M Rosenberg

ABSTRACT

A simple replica method is described for the rapid identification of colonies of bacteria which adhere to polystyrene. A correlation was found between the adherence of bacterial strains to polystyrene and cell surface hydrophobicity, suggesting the use of this technique in screening for cell surface mutants and in the isolation of hydrophobic bacteria from nature.
