Abstract
⺠Periwinkle wilt (PW) culture medium forms conditioning film on different surfaces. ⺠This film changes the surface hydrophobicity, roughness, and chemical composition. ⺠Chemical surface changes are involved in facilitating biofilm growth. ⺠Results are correlated well with current models for Xylella fastidiosa cell adhesion.
