Abstract

Bacterial extracellular polysaccharides have been shown to be involved in the attachment process of cell to solid substratum. The method described here permits study of polysaccharides and their association with the substrate surface, using a novel staining technique for light microscopy. The method can be applied both in the laboratory and in situ and appears to be independent of polysaccharide composition and structure.
