Effects of Bacterial Cell Surface Structures and Hydrophobicity on Attachment to Activated Sludge Flocs

We have shown that increased cell surface hydrophobicities of both well-characterized Escherichia coli strains and isolates from wastewater correlate well with increased adhesion to sludge flocs (Spearman rank correlation coefficient, 0.773; P < 0.01).
