Abstract
ABSTRACT
Intergeneric coaggregation of drinking water bacteria was tested.
Acinetobacter calcoaceticus
was found not only to autoaggregate but also to coaggregate with four of the five other isolates (
Burkholderia cepacia
,
Methylobacterium
sp.,
Mycobacterium mucogenicum
,
Sphingomonas capsulata
, and
Staphylococcus
sp.). In its absence, no coaggregation was found. Interactions were lectin-saccharide mediated. The putative bridging function of
A. calcoaceticus
was evidenced by multispecies biofilm studies, through a strain exclusion process.
