Abstract

Protein/ligand interactions involved in mediating adhesion between microorganisms and biological surfaces have been well‐characterized in some cases (e.g. pathogen/host interactions). The strategies microorganisms employ for attachment to inert surfaces have not been so clearly elucidated. An experimental approach is presented which addresses the issues from the point of view of molecular interactions occurring at the interface.
