Adhesion of bacteria onto minerals is a ubiquitous process that plays a central role in many biogeochemical, microbiology and environmental processes in soil and sediment. Although bacterial adhesion onto soil minerals such as phyllosilicates and Fe-oxides have been investigated extensively, little is known about the mechanisms for bacterial attachment onto Al-oxides. Here, we explored the adhesion of Bacillus subtilis onto gibbsite (gamma-AlOOH) under various ionic strengths (1,10,50, and 100mM NaCl) and pHs (pH 4, 7, and 9) by in-situ attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy. The time evolution of the peak intensities of the attached bacteria suggested that the adhesion underwent an initial rapid reaction followed by a slow pseudo-first-order kinetic stage. Spectral comparison between the attached and free cells, together with the interaction energy calculated with the Derjaguin, Landau, Verwey, and Overbeek (DLVO) theory and the micro-morphology of bacteria-gibbsite complexes, indicated that both electrostatic and chemical (bacterial groups such as phosphate and carboxyl covalently bind to gibbsite) interactions participated in the adhesion processes. Both solution ionic strength (IS) and pH impacted the spectra of attached bacteria, but the peak intensity of different bands changed differently with these two factors, showing a preferential adhesion of surface groups (phosphate, carboxyl, and amide groups) on gibbsite at different conditions. The diverse responses to IS and pH alteration of the forces (chemical bonds, electrostatic attractions, and the hydrophobic interactions) that essentially govern the adhesion might be responsible for the preferential adhesion. These results may help to better understand how bacteria adhere onto soil oxides at molecular scales. (C) 2018 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
