Initial adherence of Pseudomonas taiwanensis VLB120ΔCeGFP Δ04710 and control strain P. taiwanensis VLB120ΔeGFP to 10 cm long silicone tubings under various flow rates. After 2 h attachment phase, the medium flow of 100 μl min⁻¹, 500 μl min⁻¹ or 5 ml min⁻¹, respectively, was started for 1 h to flush out non‐adhered cells. Afterwards, the silicone tubes were removed and the first 10 cm of each were used for quantification of the attached biomass by crystal violet (CV) staining.
