Characterization of Streptomyces Cell Surface by the Microbial Adhesion to Solvents Method

Figure 1

Hydrophobic character of the 14 strains of Streptomyces to hexadecane at two ionic strengths: 10⁻³ M and 10⁻¹ M of KNO_3. The letters a, b, c, d, e, f, g used to indicate statistical groups at ionic strength 10⁻³ M of KNO₃, and the letters “a,” “b,” “c,” “d,” “e,” “f,” “g,” “h,” “i,” “j,” “k,” “l” used to indicate statistical groups at ionic strength 10⁻¹ M of KNO₃. Data were presented as means ± standard deviation (SD).
