Dear Deepa, the paper entitled "Influence of electrical properties on the evaluation of the surface hydrophobicity of Bacillus subtilis" can help you. Paper describes Bacterial adhesion to hydrocarbon BATH test.

Journal of Microbiological Methods 45, 2001, 119–126.

Best regards.

Dear Deepa,

please check paper Bogusławska-Wąs E., Lisiecki S., Drozdowska A., Ilczuk K., 2007: Effect of biofilm formation by Pseudomonas aeruginosa on gas permeability of food wrapping foils. Polish Journal of Food and Nutrition Sciences 57(2): 167-172

Hydrophobicity evaluation of Pseudomonas cells by MATH method using hexadecane is described.

Regards.

Dear,

Bacterial isolates were grown at 30 oC for 1 week on rotator shaker (180 rpm). The growth of the isolates

was routinely assessed indirectly by measuring the turbidity (OD600 nm) using a UV– visible

spectrophotometer (Shimadzu UV-160, Japan). The hexadecane removal assay was carried out by

dissolving the residual hexadecane in the medium in dichloromethane (DCM) and reading the optical

density of the hexadecane extract against a blank at a wavelength of 420 nm (Hassanshahian et al. 2012a).
