Abstract
The effect of the gaseous metabolites of one Pseudomonas fluorescens cultur e on the attachment of cells of another P. fluorescens culture to glass was studied. Gaseous metabolites increased the number of unattached cells by 1 0-30% and the mean residence time of cells attached to glass by 100%. These effects were presumably due to the yet unidentified compound which we call ed volatile antiadhesin. This compound could be adsorbed by activated charc oal and HAYESEP-Q adsorbent.
