Abstract (EN): Deposition of Pseudomonas fluorescens on aluminium, brass and copper plates was studied in a flow system. The number of bacteria deposited on aluminium was greater than on the other two types of metals. The results are discussed in terms of the mechanisms (transport and/or adhesion) that may control the rate of the deposition process. Adhesion data are compared with the predictions given by thermodynamic models.
