abstract = {Unsaturated $(80\%$ water saturated) packed column
experiments were conducted to investigate the influence of
grain size distribution and bacteria surface macromolecules
on bacteria (Rhodococcus rhodochrous) transport and
deposition mechanisms. Three sizes of silica sands were used
in these transport experiments, and their median grain sizes
were 607, 567, and 330 microm. The amount of retained
bacteria increased with decreasing sand size, and most of
the deposited bacteria were found adjacent to the column
inlet. The deposition profiles were not consistent with
predictions based on classical filtration theory. The
experimental data could be accurately characterized using a
mathematical model that accounted for first-order
attachment, detachment, and time and depth-dependent
straining processes. Visual observations of the bacteria
deposition as well as mathematical modelling indicated that
straining was the dominant mechanism of deposition in these
sands $(78-99.6\%$ of the deposited bacteria), which may
have been enhanced due to the tendency of this bacterium to
form aggregates. An additional unsaturated experiment was
conducted to better deduce the role of bacteria surface
macromolecules on attachment and straining processes. In
this case, the bacteria surface was treated using a
proteolitic enzyme. This technique was assessed by examining
the Fourier-transform infrared spectrum and hydrophobicity
of untreated and enzyme treated cells. Both of these
analytical procedures demonstrated that this enzymatic
treatment removed the surface proteins and/or associated
macromolecules. Transport and modelling studies conducted
with the enzyme treated bacteria, revealed a decrease in
attachment, but that straining was not significantly
affected by this treatment.},
