enhanced bacterial affinity of pvdf membrane: its application as improved sea water sampling tool for environmental monitoring. | isolation of diversified bacteria from seawater is a major challenge in the field of environmental microbiology. in the present study, an attempt has been made to select specific membrane with improved property of attaching diversified bacteria. initially, different concentrations (15, 18, and 20% w/w) of polysulfone (psf) were used to check their affinity for the attachment of selected gram-positive (bacillus subtilis) and gram-negative (escherichia coli) bacteria. among these, 20% w/w psf show ... | 2017 | 28054272 |
