Abstract Water flow induced transport of Pseudomonas fluorescens cells through soil columns was measured as affected by the inoculant treatment. Bacterial cells were introduced into the topsoil of columns, either encapsulated in alginate beads of different types or mixed with bentonite clay in concentrations ranging from 0.5 to 5.0% (w/v). Survival of bacterial cells was improved with the use of alginate or bentonite. Transport, as determined by destructive sampling of the columns, was reduced with the use of alginate encapsulation. Drying of the beads had no influence on transport. The presence of bentonite in the topsoil, either pre-mixed through the soil, or applied as a slurry together with the bacteria, also reduced transport, except when 0.5% was pre-mixed through the soil. P. fluorescens cells encapsulated in alginate beads prepared with water and supplemented with skim milk powder and bentonite showed the best survival during the time of the experiment and the most reduced transport compared to the control. Therefore, cells encapsulated in this way are suitable, due to their optimal survival and reduced spread, for use in a field experiment with genetically manipulated bacteria. 相似文献

The immobilization of Pseudomonas delafieldii R-8 in calcium alginate beads has been studied in order to improve biodesulfurization activity in oil/water (O/W) biphasic
systems. A gas jet extrusion technique was performed to produce immobilized beads. The specific desulfurization rate of 1.5 mm
diameter beads was 1.4-fold higher than that of 4.0 mm. Some nonionic surfactants can significantly increase the activity
of immobilized cells. The desulfurization rate with the addition of 0.5% Span 80 increased 1.8-fold compared with that of
the untreated beads. The rate of biodesulfurization was markedly enhanced by decreasing the size of alginate beads and adding
the surfactant Span 80, most likely resulting from the increasing mass transfer of substrate to gel matrix. 相似文献

Selected isolates of Pseudomonas fluorescens (Pf1-94, Pf4-92, Pf12-94, Pf151-94 and Pf179-94) and chemical resistance inducers (salicylic acid, acetylsalicylic acid, DL-norvaline, indole-3-carbinol and lichenan) were examined for growth promotion and induced systemic resistance against Fusarium wilt of chickpea. A marked increase in shoot and root length was observed in P. fluorescens treated plants. The isolates of P. fluorescens systemically induced resistance against Fusarium wilt of chickpea caused by Fusarium. oxysporum f.sp. ciceri (FocRs1), and significantly (P = 0.05) reduced the wilt disease by 26-50% as compared to control. Varied degree of protection against Fusarium wilt was recorded with chemical inducers. The reduction in disease was more pronounced when chemical inducers were applied with P. fluorescens. Among chemical inducers, SA showed the highest protection of chickpea seedlings against wilting. Fifty two- to 64% reduction of wilting was observed in soil treated with isolate Pf4-92 along with chemical inducers. A significant (P = 0.05; r = -0.946) negative correlation was observed in concentration of salicylic acid and mycelial growth of FocRs1 and at a concentration of 2000 microg ml(-1) mycelial growth was completely arrested. Exogenously supplied SA also stimulated systemic resistance against wilt and reduced the disease severity by 23% and 43% in the plants treated with 40 and 80 microg ml(-1) of SA through root application. All the isolates of P. fluorescens produced SA in synthetic medium and in root tissues. HPLC analysis indicated that Pf4-92 produced comparatively more SA than the other isolates. 1700 to 2000 nanog SA g(-1) fresh root was detected from the application site of root after one day of bacterization whereas, the amount of SA at distant site ranged between 400-500 nanog. After three days of bacterization the SA level decreased and was found more or less equal at both the detection sites. 相似文献

Induction of high-affinity iron transport during root colonization by Pseudomonas fluorescens Pf-5 (pvd-inaZ) was examined in lupine and barley growing in microcosms. P. fluorescens Pf-5 (pvd-inaZ) contains a plasmid carrying pvd-inaZ; thus, in this strain, ice nucleation activity is regulated by pyoverdin production. Lupine or barley plants were grown for 18 or 8 days, respectively, in soil amended with 2% calcium carbonate and inoculated with P. fluorescens Pf-5 (pvd-inaZ) at a density of 4 x 10(sup8) CFU g (dry weight) of soil(sup-1). A filter paper blotting technique was used to sample cells from the rhizosphere in different root zones, and then the cells were resuspended for enumeration and measurement of ice nucleation activity. The population density of P. fluorescens Pf-5 (pvd-inaZ) in the rhizosphere decreased by one order of magnitude in both lupine and barley over time. The ice nucleation activity ranged from -3.4 to -3.0 log ice nuclei CFU(sup-1) for lupine and -3.0 to -2.8 log ice nuclei CFU(sup-1) for barley, was similar in all root zones, and did not change over time. An in vitro experiment was conducted to determine the relationship between ice nucleation activity and pyoverdin production in P. fluorescens Pf-5 (pvd-inaZ). An ice nucleation activity of approximately -3.0 log ice nuclei CFU(sup-1) was measured in the in vitro experiment at 25 to 50 (mu)M FeCl(inf3). By using the regression between ice nucleation activity and pyoverdin production determined in vitro and assuming a P. fluorescens Pf-5 (pvd-inaZ) population density of 10(sup8) CFU g of root(sup-1), the maximum possible pyoverdin accumulation by P. fluorescens Pf-5 (pvd-inaZ) in the rhizosphere was estimated to be 0.5 and 0.8 nmol g of root(sup-1) for lupine and barley, respectively. The low ice nucleation activity measured in the rhizosphere suggests that nutritional competition for iron in the rhizosphere may not be a major factor influencing root colonization by P. fluorescens Pf-5 (pvd-inaZ). 相似文献

Alginate polymer was evaluated as a carrier for seed inoculation with a genetically modified strainPseudomonas fluorescens F113LacZY, which protects sugar-beet againstPythium-mediated damping-off. F113LacZY survived in alginate beads at 5 log10 CFU/ bead or higher counts for 8 weeks of storage, regardless of the conditions of incubation. In plant inoculation experiments, colonisation of the growing area of the root by F113LacZY, derived from alginate beads placed in the soil next to the seed or from an alginate coating around the seeds, was improved compared with application of just free cells of the strain. F113LacZY trapped in alginate beads was an effective producer of antifungal phloroglucinols as indicated by direct HPLC quantification of phloroglucinols and in vitro inhibition of both the indicator bacteriumBacillus subtilis A1 and the pathogenic fungusPythium ultimum. Alginate polymer represents a promising carrier for the delivery of biocontrol inoculants for root colonisation and production of antifungal metabolites. 相似文献

Pseudomonas fluorescens HP72, which suppresses the brown patch disease on bentgrass, produces several secondary metabolites, 2,4-diacetylphloroglucinol (2,4-DAPG), HCN, siderophore, and indole-3-acetic acid (IAA). In this study, IAA biosynthesis in strain HP72 was investigated. After several repeated subcultures, the spontaneous IAA low-producing mutant HP72LI was isolated. The IAA low production of the strain HP72LI was due to the low tryptophan side chain oxidase (TSO) activity. Colonization of strain HP72 on the bentgrass root induced root growth reduction, while strain HP72LI did not induce such growth reduction. The colonization ability of strain HP72 on the bentgrass root is higher than that of strain HP72LI. However, as for biocontrol ability, a significant difference in both strains was not detected. IAA production by strain HP72 may play a role in the construction of short root systems and take advantage of root colonization, but does not contribute to the biocontrol properties of P. fluorescens HP72. 相似文献

Alginate-encapsulated and unencapsulated cells of Pseudomonas fluorescens Rsf were introduced into soil microcosms with and without wheat plants to evaluate bacterial survival and colonization of the rhizoplane and rhizosphere. Encapsualtion of cells in alginate amended with skim milk or with skim milk plus bentonite clay significantly enchanced long-term survival of the cells. There was a negligible effect on long-term bacterial survival when cells were encapsulated in alginate amended with TY medium or soil extract, as compared to water. Drying of beads resulted in a significant reduction in bacterial viability. After addition to soil, cells in dried beads increased in numbers and exhibited stable population densities, whereas cells added in moist beads showed stable dynamics at a higher level. Cells encapsulated in dried beads or fresh beads survived better than unencapsulated cells added to soil. Both cells in moist and dried alginate beads also survide a dry/wet cycle in soil, whereas unencapsulated cells were sensitive to these moisture fluctuations. Shortly after inoculation and 63 days after this, cells from moist beads colonized wheat roots at significantly higher levels than unencapsulated cells, whereas cells in dried beads did so at levels similat to unencapsulated cells. Cells in beads initially placed at different distance from developing root mat were able to move towards and colonize the rhizosphere, at levels of roughly 104 to 106 colony-forming units fo P. fluorescens R2f per gram of dry soil.

A magnetic capture-hybridization PCR technique (MCH-PCR) was developed to eliminate the inhibitory effect of humic acids and other contaminants in PCRs targeting specific soil DNA. A single-stranded DNA probe, which was complementary to an internal part of the target gene, was used to coat magnetic beads. After hybridization in a suspension of soil DNA, magnetic extraction of the beads separated the hybrid DNA from all other soil DNA, humic acids, and other interfering soil components. The MCH was followed by PCR amplification of the specific target DNA. In barley rhizosphere soil, detection of a lux gene inserted in a Pseudomonas fluorescens strain could be demonstrated in nonsterile soil samples (0.5 mg). This corresponded to a detection of fewer than 40 bacterial cells per cm of barley root. The MCH-PCR technique greatly improves the current protocols for PCR detection of specific microorganisms or genes in soil because specific target DNA sequences from very small soil samples can be extracted and determined. 相似文献

Summary Carrier-based preparations of two plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) viz. Bacillus subtilis and Pseudomonas corrugata, developed in five formulations were evaluated for their growth promotion, rhizosphere colonization, and viability under
storage. The effect of these formulations as fresh preparations, and after 6 months of storage at 4 °C and room temperature,
was also determined. The bacterial inoculants in all the formulations were found to enhance the growth parameters of the test
plant species; best results were obtained in case of alginate-based formulations. Maximum numbers of inoculated bacteria were
recovered from the rhizosphere of alginate-based formulation-treated plants after 6 weeks of growth. Viability of bacterial
inoculants was maximal in alginate beads, and alginate beads supplemented with skim milk formulations, after 180 days of storage
at 4 °C. 相似文献

Two plant growth-promoting bacteria, Bacillus subtilis and Pseudomonas corrugata, immobilized in a sodium alginate based formulation were evaluated for their survival, viability and plant growth-promoting
ability after 3 years of storage at 4 °C. Populations of both of the bacterial isolates recovered from the immobilized sodium
alginate beads were in the order of 108 cfu g−1. The plant-based bioassay indicated that the plant growth promotion ability of both of the bacterial isolates was equal to
those of fresh broth-based formulations. The bacterial isolates retained the root colonization, and antifungal and enzyme
activities in the alginate-based formulation during storage. 相似文献

AIMS: To improve the efficacy of Pseudomonas fluorescens CHA0 and its genetically modified (GM) derivatives by adding ammonium molybdate to control Meloidogyne javanica, the root-knot nematode in mungbean. METHODS AND RESULTS: Culture filtrate of P. fluorescens CHA0 and its GM derivative (antibiotic overproducing strain CHA0/pME3424 and antibiotic-deficient CHA89) obtained from nutrient broth yeast extract medium amended with 1, 2 or 4 mm of ammonium molybdate (NH4-Mo) caused substantial mortality of M. javanica juveniles in vitro. Pseudomonas fluorescens CHA0 or CHA0/pME3424 applied in conjunction with NH4-Mo caused greater reduction of nematode penetration in mungbean roots compared with the bacterial application alone. Ammonium molybdate at 4 mg kg-1 of soil along with CHA0 also enhanced plant height while shoot weight remained unaffected. Either used alone or in conjunction with NH4-Mo, strain CHA89 did not reduce nematode invasion compared with the controls. Bacterial strains did not differ significantly in their colonization potential in the mungbean rhizosphere. Efficacy of the biocontrol bacteria to control root-knot nematode was accentuated when soil was treated with NH4-Mo and zinc (both at 1 mg kg-1 of soil). CONCLUSION: The addition of ammonium molybdate enhances the production of nematicidal compounds by P. fluorescensin vitro and improves bacterial efficacy against root-knot nematode under glasshouse conditions. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: Application of minerals such as ammonium molybdate is appealing because they are cheap and can easily be applied under field conditions to improve biocontrol potential of the bacterial inoculants. They also significantly reduce the amount of biocontrol inoculant biomass required to achieve root-knot disease control, with a consequent reduction in cost. 相似文献

We show that the disease tomato foot and root rot caused by the pathogenic fungus Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. radicis-lycopersici can be controlled by inoculation of seeds with cells of the efficient root colonizer Pseudomonas fluorescens WCS365, indicating that strain WCS365 is a biocontrol strain. The mechanism for disease suppression most likely is induced systemic resistance. P. fluorescens strain WCS365 and P. chlororaphis strain PCL1391, which acts through the production of the antibiotic phenazine-1-carboxamide, were differentially labeled using genes encoding autofluorescent proteins. Inoculation of seeds with a 1:1 mixture of these strains showed that, at the upper part of the root, the two cell types were present as microcolonies of either one or both cell types. Microcolonies at the lower root part were predominantly of one cell type. Mixed inoculation tended to improve biocontrol in comparison with single inoculations. In contrast to what was observed previously for strain PCL1391, mutations in various colonization genes, including sss, did not consistently decrease the biocontrol ability of strain WCS365. Multiple copies of the sss colonization gene in WCS365 improved neither colonization nor biocontrol by this strain. However, introduction of the sss-containing DNA fragment into the poor colonizer P. fluorescens WCS307 and into the good colonizer P. fluorescens F113 increased the competitive tomato root tip colonization ability of the latter strains 16- to 40-fold and 8- to 16-fold, respectively. These results show that improvement of the colonization ability of wild-type Pseudomonas strains by genetic engineering is a realistic goal. 相似文献

Abstract: To use deliberately released beneficial microorganisms in the rhizosphere, we need a better understanding of the process of root colonization by seed-borne or soil-borne inocula. In this study, we determine the survival of Pseudomonas fluorescens Ag1 and Alcaligenes eutrophus JMP134, their colonization ability as affected by substrates, and the relative importance of migration versus competition for colonization of the root. Ag1 and the 2,4-dichlorophenoxy-acetic acid (2,4-D) degrader JMP134 were inoculated in sterile barley rhizosphere systems. After inoculation of seeds with individual strains, comparable population sizes were established in the rhizosphere as determined by immunofluorescence microscopic total cell counts. Both strains were motile and able to colonize the entire root system without percolating water to stimulate passive transport. Comparing immunofluorescence microscopic cell counts with colony-forming units demonstrated that a subpopulation of A. eutrophus JMP134 closely associated with the root was non-culturable in contrast to the population in rhizosphere soil. Hence, the sole use of culture-dependent methods may give misleading information about the distribution of bacteria in the rhizosphere. Colonization studies with both strains showed that co-inoculation of Ag1 and JMP134 caused a decrease of the population size of JMP134 if 2,4-D was not added to the soil as a specific carbon source for this strain. Thus, competition for limited carbon sources might influence the composition of the bacterial community in the rhizosphere. We also found that the presence of an established inoculum in the soil reduced subsequent root colonization by a seed-inoculated strain, probably by filling available niches, also indicating that competition from other bacteria may be an important factor determining the distribution of seed-borne inocula. This factor may be just as important for the distribution of bacteria as migration. 相似文献

Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. radicis-licopersici (Forl) is a soilborne pathogenic fungus which can cause tomato foot and root rot (TFRR). Tomato root exudate is a good source of nutrients for both Forl and the TFRR-suppressing biocontrol bacterium Pseudomonas fluorescens strain WCS365. Incubation of Forl microconidia in tomato root exudate stimulates their germination. This phenomenon is observed, to a lesser extent, upon incubation in plant nutrient solution supplemented with citrate or glucose, the major organic acid and sugar components, respectively, of tomato root exudate. Here we show that induction of germination of microconidia is significantly reduced in the presence of P. fluorescens WCS365 in all tested media. Scanning electron microscopy revealed that P. fluorescens WCS365 colonizes developing hyphae. Efficient colonization correlates with low nutrient availability. Eventually, new microconidia are formed. The presence of P. fluorescens WCS365 reduces the number of newly formed microconidia. This reduction does not depend on physical contact between bacteria and hyphae. We discuss that the ability of P. fluorescens WCS365 to slow down the processes of microconidia germination and development of new microconidia of the phytopathogen, and therefore the ability to reduce fungal dissemination, is likely to contribute to the biocontrol efficacy of this strain. 相似文献

Encapsulation and dehydration techniques using alginate beads are used increasingly for the pre-treatment of various plant materials for cryopreservation to improve survival post-cryogenic storage. This study reports the effects of the water content of beads (formed with 3% (w/v) alginic acid in liquid S-RIB), polymerisation time (in 100 mM calcium chloride solution), osmotic dehydration (in 0.75 M sucrose solution), and evaporative air desiccation on the thermal properties of alginate beads used in cryopreservation protocols. Experimental beads were assayed using a differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) with a cooling programme to -150 degrees C, followed by re-warming. Resultant thermograms were evaluated with particular reference to the onset temperature and enthalpy of the melt endotherm from which the quantities of frozen and unfrozen water were calculated. Treatments were applied sequentially to samples of beads and their thermal features evaluated at each stage of the protocol. Using 'standard' beads (40-55 mg fresh weight), formed using plastic disposable pipettes, the degree of polymerisation (>10 min) proportionally reduced their dry weight and increased their water content. Thermal characteristics of the beads were unaffected by polymerisation times >10 min, but the maximum level (23%) of unfrozen (osmotically inactive) water was achieved after 15 min polymerisation. Osmotic dehydration using 0.75 M sucrose significantly lowered bead water content and mean dry weight approximately doubled with 20-24 h immersion time. Bead desiccation in still air reduced their water content by 83% of fresh weight, whilst dry weight remained constant. After 8 h desiccation in air between 27 and 37% of the water in the bead was osmotically inactive (unfrozen) in DSC scans. Desiccation >18 h reduced this fraction to zero. The melt onset temperature and the enthalpy of melting were directly related to bead water content. The unfrozen water fraction increased substantially with reduced water content of the beads (from 23 to 37% of total water content), concomitant with a reduction in the ratio of unfrozen to frozen water from 1:3 to 1:2. For successful vitrification and the production of a glass that did not destabilise on rewarming, a bead water content of ca. 26% of fresh weight (0.4 g waterg(-1) dry weight) was required, much of which was osmotically inactive water. These data are discussed in relation to optimal pre-treatments for alginate bead encapsulation techniques used in the cryopreservation of a range of plant germplasm. It is proposed that increased standardisation of alginate beads, in terms of volume, fresh weight, and water content, is required to reduce the variability in physical and thermal features, which in turn will improve survival of plant samples post-cryopreservation. 相似文献

A collection of 905 bacterial isolates from the rhizospheres of healthy avocado trees was obtained and screened for antagonistic activity against Dematophora necatrix, the cause of avocado Dematophora root rot (also called white root rot). A set of eight strains was selected on the basis of growth inhibitory activity against D. necatrix and several other important soilborne phytopathogenic fungi. After typing of these strains, they were classified as belonging to Pseudomonas chlororaphis, Pseudomonas fluorescens, and Pseudomonas putida. The eight antagonistic Pseudomonas spp. were analyzed for their secretion of hydrogen cyanide, hydrolytic enzymes, and antifungal metabolites. P. chlororaphis strains produced the antibiotic phenazine-1-carboxylic acid and phenazine-1-carboxamide. Upon testing the biocontrol ability of these strains in a newly developed avocado-D. necatrix test system and in a tomato-F oxysporum test system, it became apparent that P. fluorescens PCL1606 exhibited the highest biocontrol ability. The major antifungal activity produced by strain P. fluorescens PCL1606 did not correspond to any of the major classes of antifungal antibiotics produced by Pseudomonas biocontrol strains. This compound was purified and subsequently identified as 2-hexyl 5-propyl resorcinol (HPR). To study the role of HPR in biocontrol activity, two Tn5 mutants of P. fluorescens PCL1606 impaired in antagonistic activity were selected. These mutants were shown to impair HRP production and showed a decrease in biocontrol activity. As far as we know, this is the first report of a Pseudomonas biocontrol strain that produces HPR in which the production of this compound correlates with its biocontrol activity. 相似文献

A variety of stress situations may affect the activity and survival of plant-beneficial pseudomonads added to soil to control root diseases. This study focused on the roles of the sigma factor AlgU (synonyms, AlgT, RpoE, and sigma(22)) and the anti-sigma factor MucA in stress adaptation of the biocontrol agent Pseudomonas fluorescens CHA0. The algU-mucA-mucB gene cluster of strain CHA0 was similar to that of the pathogens Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Pseudomonas syringae. Strain CHA0 is naturally nonmucoid, whereas a mucA deletion mutant or algU-overexpressing strains were highly mucoid due to exopolysaccharide overproduction. Mucoidy strictly depended on the global regulator GacA. An algU deletion mutant was significantly more sensitive to osmotic stress than the wild-type CHA0 strain and the mucA mutant were. Expression of an algU'-'lacZ reporter fusion was induced severalfold in the wild type and in the mucA mutant upon exposure to osmotic stress, whereas a lower, noninducible level of expression was observed in the algU mutant. Overexpression of algU did not enhance tolerance towards osmotic stress. AlgU was found to be essential for tolerance of P. fluorescens towards desiccation stress in a sterile vermiculite-sand mixture and in a natural sandy loam soil. The size of the population of the algU mutant declined much more rapidly than the size of the wild-type population at soil water contents below 5%. In contrast to its role in pathogenic pseudomonads, AlgU did not contribute to tolerance of P. fluorescens towards oxidative and heat stress. In conclusion, AlgU is a crucial determinant in the adaptation of P. fluorescens to dry conditions and hyperosmolarity, two major stress factors that limit bacterial survival in the environment. 相似文献

The plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPR) Raoultella planticola Rs-2 was encapsulated with the various blends of alginate, starch, and bentonite for development of controlled-release formulations.
The stability and release characteristics of these different capsule formulations were evaluated. The entrapment efficiency
of Rs-2 in the beads (capsules) was more than 99%. The diameter of dry beads ranged from 0.98 to 1.41 mm. The bacteria release
efficiency, swelling ratio, and biodegradability of the different bead formulations were enhanced by increasing the starch
or alginate contents, but were impeded by higher bentonite content. The release kinetics of viable cells from capsules and
the swelling ratio of capsules were studied in simulated soil media of varying temperature, moisture, pH, and salt content.
The release of loaded Rs-2 cells and swelling of capsules are greatly affected by moisture, temperature, pH and salt content
of the release medium. The release of viable Rs-2 cells from capsules was positively associated with the swelling properties
of the capsules. The release of Rs-2 cells occurred through a Case II diffusion mechanism. In summary, this work indicates
that alginate-starch-bentonite blends are a viable option for the development of efficient controlled-release formulations
of Rs-2 biofertilizer, and which could have a promising application in natural field conditions. 相似文献

Cells of Pseudomonas fluorescens F113 LacZY were encapsulated in alginate and their survival and ability to colonise sugar beet were evaluated. To assess
survival, the formulation, composed of dry alginate microbeads of 300- to 700-μm diameter, was stored 1 year at 28±2 and 4±2°C
and then tested against pathogenic fungi Pythium ultimum and Rhizoctonia solani in in vitro inhibition experiments. The same material was also used as inoculant for protection of sugar beet against Py. ultimum in microcosm experiments. The results obtained indicated that, although drying alginate beads resulted in a significant reduction
of bacterial viability, the use of microbeads enabled a satisfactory level of root colonisation and protection, at least under
microcosm conditions. The capability of the encapsulated cells to produce the antifungal metabolite 2,4-diacetylphloroglucinol
(Phl) was not significantly affected by 12 months storage. Journal of Industrial Microbiology & Biotechnology (2001) 27, 337–342.

The detection and kinetics of mucosal pathogenic bacteria binding on polysaccharide ligands were studied using a surface plasmon resonance biosensor. The kinetic model applied curve-fitting to the experimental surface plasmon resonance sensorgrams to evaluate the binding interactions. The kinetic parameters for the mucosal pathogenic bacteria (Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Pseudomonasfluorescens, Serratia marcescens) with the alginate ligand were determined from a kinetic model. In addition, the binding interactions of the mucosal pathogenic bacteria with polysaccharide binding pairs (Pseudomonas aeruginosa/alginate, Streptococcus pneumoniae/pneumococcal polysaccharide, Staphylococcus aureus/pectin) were also compared with their kinetic parameters. The rate constants of association for Pseudomonas aeruginosa with the alginate ligand were higher than those for Pseudomonas fluorescens. Serratia marcescens had no detectable interaction with the alginate ligand. The adhesion affinity of Pseudomonas aeruginosa with alginate was higher than that for the other binding pairs. The binding affinities of the pathogenic bacteria with their own polysaccharide were higher than that of Staphylococcus aureus with pectin. Measuring the contact angle was found to be a feasible method for detecting binding interactions between analytes and ligands. 相似文献
