Motivated by the need for improved understanding of physical processes involved in bacterial biodegradation of catastrophic oil spills, we review biophysical methods to probe bacterial motility and adhesion at oil-water interfaces. This review summarizes methods that probe bulk, average behaviors as well as local, microscopic behaviors, and highlights opportunities for future work to bridge the gap between biodegradation and biophysics.
受提高对细菌生物降解灾难性溢油事件中涉及的物理过程的理解的需求的推动，我们综述了用于探测细菌在油水界面处的迁移和附着的生物物理方法。本综述总结了探测整体平均行为以及局部微观行为的方法，并强调了未来工作的机会，以弥合生物降解和生物物理学之间的差距。
