Fresh water bacterial aggregate development : effect of dissolved organic matter / S.S. Rao, I.G. Droppo, C.M. Taylor and B.K. Brunison.: En13-5/91-75E-PDF
"Suspended sediment particles and bacteria because of their surface area and charge may play a role in the binding of aquatic contaminants. Little is known, as to what degree each of these factors play in the formation of suspended aggregates. Flocculation of particles can alter their hydrodynamic properties in aquatic environments and therefore may have significant implications for contaminant transport. In this study, we examine the role dissolved organic carbon plays in the production of bacterial aggregates as a first step to gaining a better understanding of bacterial-particle interaction and suspended particulate formation"--Abstract.
