CONT

With irreversible attachment, the bacterium is first adsorbed on the surface, and then actively attaches itself to it by its metabolic activity ... This type of bioattachment occurs much more slowly, and it depends on the type of bacterium involved, the size of the bacterial population in the environment, and the duration of its growth phase.
