[Adhesion and colonisation of the glass surface by Thiobacillus thioparus and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia and their biculture].
The thionic bacteria Thiobacillus thioparus and its natural sattelite Stenotrophomonas maltophilia have been isolated from the soil, adjacent to the surface of Kyiv underground tunnel. The sterile glass, was used as a model surface which imitates the hydrophilic model surface. Beijerinck nutrition media were inoculated by pure and mixed culture of T. thioparus. Some differences in adhesion by mono- and mixed cultures were shown. Hemolithotrophic and heterotrophic bacteria could be interrelated and this could influence the biofilm formation. The formation of biofilm of T. thioparus mixed culture occurs more actively in comparison with the pure culture.
