SEM study of P. aeruginosa ATCC 55925 adhering to polymeric spheres covering oil-in water emulsion droplets while growing on hydrocarbons. Bacteria are seen adhered on the spheres surface (a), embedded in several polymeric layers (b), projecting out from a cell cluster on the sphere surface (c) linked as cell clusters (d) and by appendages (d and f). Scale bars: a-b 5 μm, c-e 2 μm, f 1 μm.
