We evaluated the ability of several strains of the rhizobacterium Paenibacillus polymyxa, differing in the yield and rheological properties of their exopolysaccharides, to form biofilms on abiotic surfaces. Of these strains, P. polymyxa 1465, giving the highest yield of extracellular polysaccharides and the highest kinematic viscosity of the culture liquid and of aqueous polysaccharide solutions, proved to be the most active in forming biofilms on hydrophobic and hydrophilic surfaces. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay with rabbit polyclonal antibodies developed to isolated exopolysaccharides of P. polymyxa 1465 and 92 was used to detect P. polymyxa's polysaccharidic determinants in the composition of the biofilm materials.
