This model quantitatively describes how cell hydrophobic and hydrophilic interactions affect microbial adhesion, and offers deep insights into the thermodynamic mechanisms of microbial adhesion. The proposed model was verified by literature data. It appears that a high cell-hydrophobicity strongly facilitates microbial adhesion on both hydrophobic and hydrophilic support surfaces.
