Abstract

The ability of different microbes to form biofilms on materials found in aviation fuel systems was assessed using both individual isolates and complex microbial communities. Biofilm formation by the Gram negative bacterium, Pseudomonas putida, the fungus Amorphotheca resinae and the yeast, Candida t...
