| the surface physicochemistry and adhesiveness of shewanella are affected by their surface polysaccharides. | shewanella strains have previously been studied with regard to their cell surface ultrastructure and lps composition. they have now been further characterized with respect to their surface physicochemistry and ability to adhere to haematite. the surfaces of the shewanella strains were found to be electronegative and hydrophilic, and these properties could be correlated with lps composition or the presence of capsular polysaccharides. strains expressing rough lps with no capsule were more hydroph ... | 2007 | 17526844 |
