On each slide, bacteria were viewed at 630x magnification and 10 square fields measuring 145 m per side.
However, these findings are restricted to a fraction of (known) cultivable and viable bacteria only.
The level of attaching bacteria were estimated by three different methods.
Indeed, flagella handedness has no effect on the tumbling of short bacteria, as they make many turns before ending at a new angle.
