I have absolutely no idea, how this can reasonably be done. I will be grateful for advice and literature hints.
I can recommend the same articles as our colleague Mr. Ian Proffitt, it means:
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - General Subjects
Volume 677, Issues 3–4, 5 November 1981, Pages 471–476
A new test based on ‘salting out’ to measure relative hydrophobicity of bacterial cells
M. Lindahla, A. Farisa,T. Wads tröma, S. Hjerténb
FEMS Microbiology Letters
Volume 152, Issue 2, 15 July 1997, Pages 299–306
Determination of bacterial cell surface hydrophobicity of single cells in cultures and in wastewater in situ; Anna Zita,Malte Hermansson
Can somebody please help me with procedures for measuring the surface hydrophobicity of bacteria?. Available from: https://www.researchgate.net/post/Can_somebody_please_help_me_with_procedures_for_measuring_the_surface_hydrophobicity_of_bacteria [accessed May 20, 2015].
One more:
Bacterial hydrophobicity, an overall parameter for the measurement of adhesion potential to soil particles.

excellent paper - this really helps. Thank you a lot. With best wishes from Jena - Johannes.
Could you ask Prof. Volkmar Braun, retired professor of Microbiology in Tübingen, still working with a research group at the MPI Tübingen. He is an expert of the bacterial surface.
Best wishes
