N2 - The kinetics of bacterial adherence to hexadecane were measured using disposable polystyrene cuvettes. The rate of adherence was exponential, and was itself linearly dependent on the water:hexadecane ratio employed. The dependency of the rate of adherence on the water:hexadecane ratio, termed the removal coefficient, varied from 4.7 min-1 for Streptococcus pyogenes to 72 min-1 for Acinetobacter calcoaceticus. The removal coefficient of Serratia marcescens was a function of growth temperature, 48 min-1 following growth at 30°C as opposed to 5.8 min-1 for 35°C-grown cells.
