the growth dynamics and structure of bacillus subtilis macrofibers have been exploited to develop a new strategy for the immobilization of bacterial cells. the helical turning and folding motions associated with macrofiber growth enabled macrofibers to become entwined about a support material of appropriate dimensions and surface texture. when grown in the presence of suitable support material, the macrofibers formed an encrustment that, starting from numerous foci, spread progressively until the entire surface was covered with fibers. factors that influence the colonization of the support discussed in this paper include (1) the dimensions, geometry, and surface texture of the support itself; (2) the genetic constitution and amount of the inoculum; and (3) the composition of the culture medium used to establish the macrofiber substrate interaction.
