The effect of mercaptoethanol and dithiothreitol on growth of free and attached Saccharomyces paradoxus cells was compared. The resistance of attached cells to these compounds was accompanied by changes in metabolic and biosynthelic activity as well as by changed starvation response. An utilization of ethylene glycol by bacterial biofilm indicated as well that the cell attachment to insoluble supports could allow us to modulate the technologically significant properties of microbial cell populations.
