Item Bacterial adsorption to smooth surfaces: Rate, extent, and spatial pattern(1985-12) Nelson, Christopher H.; Robinson, J. A.; Characklis, William G.The influence of bulk-water bacterial cell concentration and specific growth rate history on bacterial adsorption rates to surfaces was investigated using response surface analysis. A pure culture of Pseudomonas sp. 224s was grown in a chemostat and pumped into a continuous flow reactor where the bacteria were exposed to clean, glass surfaces under turbulent flow conditions for a periodof six hours. Adsorption rate decreased approximately linearly with increasing specific growth rate history. Glass surfaces became saturated with 2248 at ca. 0.1% coverage and the resulting spatial pattern of the adsorbed cells deviated from random in the direction of uniformity.Item Influence of biofouling and biofouling control techniques on corrosion of copper-nickel tubes(1983) Characklis, William G.; Zelver, Nick; Nelson, Christopher H.; Lewis, R. O.; Dobb, David E.; Pagenkopf, G. K.
