FIG. 1.
Bacterial deposition kinetics in the radial stagnation point flow system, presented as cell transfer rate coefficients (kRSPF) as a function of ionic strength. Data are shown for E. coli D21g cells harvested in the mid-exponential and stationary phases (3 and 18 h, respectively). The experimental conditions were as follows: flow velocity = 0.0265 m/s and pH = 5.6 to 5.8. Error bars indicate 1 standard deviation.
