Tol 5 to Abiotic Surfaces,” Journal of Bioscience and Bioengineering (Vol. 113(6), pp. 719–725)] studied the adhesion of various biofilms to solid surfaces for possible use in environmental technologies. Adhesion assay is conducted by measuring absorbance at A590. Suppose that for the bacterial strain Acinetobacter, five measurements gave readings of 2.69, 5.76, 2.67, 1.62, and 4.12 dyne-cm2.

Tank A contains 200 liters of water in which 50 kilograms of salt has been dissolved and Tank B contains 100 liters of pure water. Water containing 1kg of salt per liter is pumped into Tank A at the rate of 5 liters per minute. Brine mixture is pumped into Tank A from Tank B at the rate of 3 liters per minute and brine mixture is pumped from Tank A into Tank B at the rate of 8 liters per minute.
