Exopolymers in bacterial adhesion: interpretation in terms of DLVO and XDLVO theories

Exopolymers have an important role in bacterial adhesion and are associated with irreversible adhesion. Moreover, they can coat surfaces enhancing or avoiding bacterial colonisation. To study the role of exopolymers in the adhesion of bacteria to glass, three mutants of Sphingomonas paucimobilis (wh...
