Microorganisms belonging to the genera Pseudomonas, Micrococcus, Bacillus and Rhodotorula are flocculated with divinyl styrene latex. The process of flocculation depends on a number of physico-chemical factors but, all in all, is universal for microorganisms with different taxonomy, morphology and physiology. The structure of artificial bioflocs has been studied using optical and scanning electron microscopy.
