摘要: Significant decreases in the apparent viscosity of a bacterial biofilm suspension were measured following addition sodium, potassium, magnesium, or calcium salts, whereas iron salts increased viscosity. Electrostatic interactions contribute to cohesion and cations are potent crosslinkers matrix.
